The traps will keep working for three to four months, and they can then be disposed of and new ones set. Those who live in the close-knit Valley Farm development have secrets too, and as Vera is drawn into the claustrophobic world of this increasingly strange community, she realizes that there may be deadly secrets trapped there .
