In 1962, the valley village of Harebeck was flooded to create a reservoir. The residents were compensated and relocated. Their houses, church, and graveyard went under. The official record says they were gone. Sixty years later, the reservoir's dam is deteriorating. The land belongs to the Whitmore estate, and the Whitmore sisters - Ida, Ruth, and Blythe - have been called back to manage its sale. They're told the reservoir must be drained as part of the remediation process. The water will drop. The village will emerge. The village has been waiting.
