Description
When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, artist Christopher DuVall thought he'd lost everything. He was wrong -- his past was waiting to claim him in the haunted shadows of home.
Fourteen years ago, Christopher fled the small Louisiana town of Bellemire, abandoning a broken family and memories too raw to face.
Now, with his world in ruins, he's forced back to the place he vowed never to return. In his childhood home, he confronts his estranged mother and the suffocating weight of a tragedy that shattered their lives: the mysterious deaths of his six-year-old sister Joan and his father at the family's isolated cabin on Dorcheat Bayou.
As ghosts of memory rise from the bayou's dark waters, Christopher can no longer escape the guilt and secrets that have shadowed his life.
In the sweltering Louisiana summer, amid cypress trees and buried truths, he unravels the mystery of that fateful night -- and his own role in the devastation that followed.
A Southern Gothic tale of family secrets, addiction, and art's redemptive power, Dorcheat explores whether redemption is possible when the past refuses to stay buried.
