Description: They call Eddie Miller "The Co-ed Killer's Son". When Eddie was five years old, his father killed a local college girl, dismembered her body, and buried it in the woods. Where Eddie's family name has brought only infamy, Jack's has bestowed deference and respect. He's returned from college to teach in his hometown. At the back of his class, sits Eddie. Jack sees a youong man of promise, struggling with a poisonous inheritance, and encourages Eddie to discover the truth about his father. Others would rather the past was left undisturbed. Jack's father was a teacher himself - he taught Eddie's father - and he knows that not all questions should be answered.
