When criminal lawyer Justine Stone is handed the lead on her first murder case, she’s thrilled at the chance to enter the big leagues --- until she discovers that she recognizes the man on the stand: Jake Reynolds, her first love who abruptly disappeared from her life years ago and is now facing charges for a grisly double homicide. If she’s going to send Jake to prison for murder, she has to be sure, and that means heading back to their hometown to seek answers. Back home after almost two decades, Justine is haunted by memories, not only of the idyllic love she shared with Jake, but darker recollections of the death of her beloved father and the weight of the small town’s expectations. When her older brother, Max, goes missing, she starts to suspect that everything is connected.
