What if all that stood between us and hell was a match?Emily and Bobby Jessup are simply a sweet, ordinary couple, except that they now stand accused of multiple counts of first-degree arson. The small coal-mining community of Karlgarin has branded them criminals and sociopaths. The case against them seems open and shut. They did it and were caught, and now they will pay. Something terrifying though led Bobby and Emily to leave their two young children with a sitter while they embarked on this crazy fire-bug spree. That something was an incredible secret they'd promised to protect, no matter what. When Emily impulsively breaks her promise while under cross-examination, a bizarre tale unfolds of the night she followed her husband and discovered the truth of his clandestine activities.
