An explosive story about seeking justice for a past that won't let you go.
Lucy Smith is on the run. Years in foster care have taught her to be smart, cautious. But when the kind-eyed Jamie Jameson and his “friend-not-friend” Daunis track her down and show interest in her case, Lucy begins to wonder if things could be different.
They tell her the truth about her father, and the family that has been hidden from her all this time. But Lucy is being followed. As the secrets mount and threaten to swallow her whole, Lucy must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to protect the people she loves.
