After that night, nothing was ever the same again ...

Fifteen years ago, Sara Linton's life was irrevocably altered by a night that started with celebration and ended in unspeakable violence. It was an event that left her world shattered and her soul scarred. Yet, over the years, Sara has fought hard to rebuild her life. Now a successful doctor and engaged to a man she deeply loves, she has crafted a life where the shadows of the past no longer loom over her.

All of this is brought to a screeching halt one fateful evening when Sara, on call in the ER, is faced with a brutally attacked young woman named Dani Cooper. As Sara fervently attempts to save Dani’s life, the investigation into the assault begins to unravel chilling similarities to her own past trauma. GBI Special Agent Will Trent leads the inquiry, uncovering connections that thrust Sara back into a nightmare she thought she had escaped.

As buried secrets claw their way to the surface and the truth begins to unfold, Sara realises that the past may never stay buried, no matter how far one tries to run from it.
