¿Qué estás dispuesto a hacer por la gente a la que amas? Lo último que me dijo fue: protégela. Antes de que Owen Michaels desapareciera, consiguió pasar a escondidas una nota a su nueva esposa, Hannah: "Protégela". Hannah sabe exactamente a quién se refiere la nota: Bailey, la hija adolescente de Owen, quien perdió trágicamente a su madre cuando era niña. Y que no quiere tener absolutamente nada que ver con su nueva madrastra.

Credeva di avere una vita perfetta. Ma stava vivendo una perfetta bugia. È una sera come tante per Hannah Hall, quando all'improvviso sente suonare il campanello.

Perché, in realtà, qualcosa di insolito quella sera c'è: Owen, l'uomo che ha sposato da poco più di un anno, per il quale si è trasferita da New York in una casa galleggiante nella baia di San Francisco, non è tornato dal lavoro e non risponde al telefono. Non è da lui.
