If you hurt me, I'll hurt you. Not right away of course, because where's the fun in that?
When journalist Carly Atherton decides to investigate Daniel Taylor, the pilot of a mysteriously crashed plane, the only family member who will speak to her is his sister.
Glamorous and self-assured, Izzy Taylor is happy to fill Carly in on Daniel's family history and the events leading up to the crash. She even starts to give Carly career advice.
But when Daniel's widow finally agrees to an interview, everything Izzy has said is called into question, and Carly realizes she has been drawn into a story far darker than she could possibly have imagined...
