Official synopsis Publisher
Pete Bartholomew, and his ex-wife, Connie, are no experts on marriage, but they attend Walt Westerman’s wedding hoping for the best. They’re not alone in wondering how Walt, a reformed juvenile delinquent, has snared the sweetest girl on Nashtoba Island. But as the tension in the air begins to fray their own fragile reconciliation, it becomes clear the bride and groom aren’t going to show. And when Pete is asked to search for them, the day goes from bad to deadly.
Pete and Connie soon find the groom, covered in blood suffering from shock. When they find the bride at the bottom of a nearby well – and a “Dear John” note she had written – Walt becomes the prime suspect. Connie, however, has doubts, and she convinces the reluctant Pete to investigate further. What they discover hits uncomfortably close to home… and exposes a tangle of jealousy, love, and murderous anger lurking beneath some very “Muddy Water.”
