A family is found murdered in their home. The house is in flames. The only survivor—a teenage girl who barely escapes.
Detective Kaitlyn Carr is called in to find the killer and deliver justice. But as she digs into the twisted case of the Hendrel family, she’s haunted by her own past—the one she’s tried for years to forget.
A year before the murder, Kaitlyn’s younger sister, Violet, showed up on her doorstep after a blowout with their mother. Angry, reckless, and desperate to escape their toxic home, Violet begged to move in. Kaitlyn, newly promoted to detective and consumed by long, unpredictable hours, said no. Or maybe she said yes—just not in time.
Now, as Kaitlyn gets closer to unmasking the killer, her own family is unraveling. Violet is back in her life with a desperate request—one that crosses a line Kaitlyn swore she’d never cross.
What happens when your past won’t stay buried?
What happens when saying no isn’t an option?
And what happens when the chaos in your own life threatens to derail justice—and let a killer walk free?
