The darkest secrets are always closest to home…

Twenty years ago, Paul Copeland’s sister disappeared in the woods. Three other teenagers vanished that night but only two bodies were found.

Now raising his daughter alone, Paul has rebuilt his life and balances being a father with his career as a prosecutor. But when a body is found with evidence linking the victim to him, the well-buried secrets of his past begin to threaten everything.

Could the body be one of the teenagers? And if it’s not his sister, could she still be alive? As he begins to dig into his family’s past once more, Paul must decide what secrets are best left in the dark…
