Sometimes second chances are deadly.
As childhood sweethearts, Brian and Melissa had a simple plan: finish school, get married, and live happily ever after. Melissa went away to college. Brian stayed behind and married her best friend, breaking all of his promises and shattering their future.
Seventeen years later, Brian’s stable life as a renowned city detective is crashing down around him. His marriage has ended in betrayal, his teenage daughter is keeping dangerous secrets, and Melissa has just moved back to town—a walking reminder of what he lost all those years ago.
Melissa has returned home to focus on her career and family, determined to forgive the past and capture a new beginning. But her peace is shattered by a desperate phone call from Erin, Brian's teenage daughter. Erin has uncovered a horrifying secret within her own family—one that leads straight to a monster hiding in plain sight.
Thrust back into Brian’s tumultuous world, Melissa must team up with him to save Erin from the evil web she's caught in. They have to fight to fix the past or face losing each other all over again.
