Her former friends exult her downfall. Her sister, Brynn, faces whispered rumors every day in the hallways of their small Iowa high school. It's Brynnshy, quiet Brynnwho carries the burden of what really happened that night. All she wants is to forget Allison and the past that haunts her.
But then Allison is released to a halfway house, and is more determined than ever to speak with her estranged sister.
Now their legacy of secrets is focused on one little boy. And if the truth is revealed, the consequences will be unimaginable for the adoptive mother who loves him, the girl who tried to protect him and the two sisters who hold the key to all that is hidden.

現在，他們的秘密遺留在一個小男孩身上。 如果揭露真相，對於愛他的養母、那位試圖保護他的女孩以及掌握所有真相關鍵的兩個妹妹，後果將是難以想像的。
