January LaVoy gives a gripping performance of contrasting personalities and voices. Zane seems to have the perfect family, but what lies beneath are undercurrents of violence and lies. The illusion shatters one terrifying night, and Zane and his sister escape. Years later he returns to his hometown and connects with newcomer Darby, who's running from her own scary past. Can the two find happiness together despite their fears? Zane and his sister's voices as adults sound deeper and self-assured, but LaVoy stays true to the cadences and personalities first introduced. Zane's father projects a confidence and persuasive tone to outsiders and a quiet coldness that surges into yelling at home. LaVoy give Darby a satisfying Yankee accent and plucky demeanor that contrast with Zane's warm Southern drawl. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
