[1] The novel tells the story of Tom and Abby Stuart, a couple who had everything: a perfect marriage, successful careers, and a beautiful twelve-year-old daughter, Caitlin.

For a while they grasped at every false hope and followed every empty lead, but the tragedy ended up changing their lives, overwhelming them with guilt and dread, and shattering their marriage.

Then the police arrest a suspect connected to the disappearance, but Caitlin refuses to testify, leaving the Stuarts with a choice: let the man who may be responsible for destroying their lives walk away, or take matters into their own hands.
