Jude and Kate have a therapist locked in their basement. Jude wants her dead. Kate thinks she might finally have a friend.
Marriage has always required compromise.
For Jude and Kate, so does murder.
Cheryl was never supposed to stay this long. She was supposed to become one more problem quietly handled by two people who are very good at making problems disappear.
Then Kate gets attached.
For the first time in a long time, she has someone willing to listen to her. Someone she can talk to about marriage, motherhood, murder-and all the other things that tend to make ordinary friendships difficult.
Jude sees the situation differently.
Their hostage knows too much.
Kate is becoming unpredictable.
And the longer Cheryl stays in their house, the more opportunities she has to turn husband and wife against each other.
Meanwhile, Jude and Kate are still trying to maintain the appearance of a perfectly ordinary suburban family.
Their children are beginning to develop a few troubling habits of their own.
Jude still leaves town to kill people for money.
Kate is trying very hard to become a better person.
It isn't going especially well.
Worst of all, Cheryl may not be nearly as helpless as Kate believes.
Jude and Kate have survived killers, secrets, marriage, and each other.
The therapist in the basement may be the thing that finally breaks them.
Come Hell or High Water is a darkly funny psychological thriller about a killer couple, a hostage who knows far too much, morally flexible parenting, and the considerable difficulty of maintaining a normal marriage when both spouses are capable of murder.
