Description

What if a mother’s love blinds her to the truth?

Chrissy and Alice were once inseparable, just like their sons, Leo and Robbie. But everything changed the night Leo threw a single, fatal punch that ended Robbie’s life. In the aftermath, Leo was sent to prison, Chrissy lost the pub she had worked so hard to build, and Alice channeled her grief into something dark and unsettling.

Now, with Leo’s parole date approaching, the small English village is on edge, unwilling to forget what happened. But when Chrissy arrives at the prison to bring her son home, she’s stunned to learn he’s already been released—and no one knows where he is.

As fear grips the village, old friendships unravel, and Chrissy begins to suspect that the people she once trusted may be responsible for Leo’s disappearance. At the center of her doubts is Alice, whose anger has never faded. But is Leo being made to pay for his crime all over again? Or does the truth stretch further back, into secrets none of them are willing to face?
