That spring night in South London, when Isabel and Edward’s lives were torn apart. The night Isabel learned that the worst things wait, just outside the door. The night Edward learned that he was powerless to stop them. The night they never talk about. When their attacker is caught, it's finally time to tell the story of that night. Not to the world.

Ahora Alexandra deberá ponerse en contacto con los demás, que crecieron en familias adoptivas diferentes, incluido su extraño hermano Ethan, que ha convertido la pesadilla que vivieron de niños en un lucrativo negocio de conferencias…
