Story

The story

Two years ago, a reckless decision cost Alex Carter his life, and Maya's brother Liam walked out of the house. Now Liam is back, cold and distant, carrying secrets and what he calls unfinished business. Maya knows he blames her for the death of his best friend, and she cannot blame him.

When Maya finds Alex's hidden journal in the attic, everything shifts. Its pages reveal a long affair between Alex's father and her own mother, and Alex's fear that Caroline Hayes, the stepmother who raised them, was involved in the tragedy that tore the family apart. On Liam's desk she discovers photos and documents, all pointing to Caroline.

Liam has been building this case alone. Now the two broken siblings must decide whether to work together and uncover the lies buried in their family, or let the truth destroy them both.
