He was her first love. Now he’s dead…
Annie has spent ten years raising her daughter, Jessica, on her own and is thrilled that Jessica has found love with Ryan, the son of her close friends.
But the fairy-tale romance between the two teenagers is not to be. The traumatic loss of her father was bad enough, but now Jessica has lost her boyfriend—to a killer.
Ryan’s parents are in shock and the heartbreak only grows as evidence emerges that Ryan may not have been the upstanding young man they all thought.
In the face of an unsolved murder and shocking revelations, those left behind struggle to move on and relationships start to fall apart under the strain. What was real? What was an illusion? And is the truth too difficult to face?
