Five years later, a single phone call from an old ally summons the brothers back to the U.S., urgently needed to help their sister. But when they arrive, they discover she isn't the only one in need of their assistance. There's someone else-someone they knew existed but had never met: their youngest sister, Estella.

Will the innocence of a child be enough to heal the wounds of the past, or has time already sealed their fate forever?
