Movie star Jack Montgomery leaves his entire fortune to Cassie. Jack’s two granddaughters think the money should be theirs. Everything hinges on Cassie’s Grandma June, and a movie filmed in 1955 in a small Ohio town. A multi-generational mystery.
The 1955 thread asks if Cassie’s father, Adelbert, son of Grandma June, was fathered by Jack Montgomery during the filming of Erie Canal in St. Jude, Ohio. The 2015 thread has Cassie, Tate Montgomery, and Elda Montgomery camped out together in Two Oaks, the grand house built by June’s great-uncle Lemon Gray Neely in 1895. Both threads seek to solve the mysteries of what happened in St. Jude in 1955. Every time it looks like the mysteries have been unraveled, something else is turned over to reveal another facet of the mystery.
