The Delaney family love one another dearly–it’s just that sometimes they want to murder each other . . .If you were the mother of a missing person, would you report it to the police? The Delaneys are a fixture in their community. Stan and Joy Delaney are the envy of their friends. Their chemistry is evident off the court and they are a formidable team player. After fifty years of marriage, they have finally sold their tennis academy and are ready for the golden years. So why are Stan and Joy so miserable?The four Delaney children–Amy, Logan, Troy, and Brooke–were tennis stars in their own right, yet as their father will tell you, none of them had what it took to go all the way.

Later, when Joy goes missing and Savannah is nowhere to be found, the police question the one person who remains: Stan. He, like many spouses, has a lot to hide for someone who claims to innocence. Two of the Delaney kids believe their father is innocent. Two others aren’t so sure.
