Midnight Champagne
A. Manette Ansay
April and Caleb have known each other for just three months so their Valentine's Day wedding (in a violent snowstorm) on the shores of Lake Michigan has both families - hers from Wisconsin, his from Tennessee - in uproar. Everyone has an opinion about their union, based on their own experiences. Meanwhile at the nearby Hideaway Lodge a domestic quarrel ends in tragedy. As April and Caleb's life together begins, death parts another man and woman in furious violence and the two stories gradually intersect, exposing tangled roots of vulnerability, passion, desire and desperation.
