In present-day California, Eleanor Bennett’s death leaves behind a

puzzling inheritance for her two children, Byron and Benny: a black cake, made

from a family recipe with a long history, and a voice recording. In her message,

Eleanor shares a tumultuous story about a headstrong young swimmer who

escapes her island home under suspicion of murder.
