Deb’s Dozen: “Oh, what tangled webs we weave, when first we practice to deceive.”

Finn McGregor, the youngest of the almost mythical McGregor brothers, has had his six-year Army Ranger career ended by a traumatic accident. Recovering from PTSD and attempting to return to his previous physical condition without the interference of his big brothers, Finn has rented an isolated cabin in the woods. Hoping for peace, he is startled to hear a woman screaming and screaming in the night. Instincts kicking into action, he’s out of the cabin and following the scream. Bursting into a neighboring cabin, he startles awake its resident, Dana Lewis, and truly terrifies her.

Dana, recovering from a trauma of her own, is not sure about this new neighbor, but there is electricity other than fear between them. Smitten with the pretty neighbor, Finn offers first to repair the door he broke and then finds other chores to keep him near.

Meanwhile, the sheriff in town has been presented with a huge temptation. Keeping his Alzheimer’s afflicted wife in the best care facility around has bankrupted him. The manager is threatening to evict his wife and the sheriff is at his wit’s end. He and the resident bad boy, a meth cooker, cross paths which weave them together in a tangled fashion. Seems the meth lab is close to Dana’s cabin and he is trying to chase/frighten her away.

What will Finn and Dana do about the disturbing incidents that keep happening around Dana’s cabin? Will the sheriff return to the straight path? What about that electricity? And will the older McGregor brothers be able to stay out of the mix?
