Liam and Stacey Salvatore had survived everything - trauma, heartbreak, betrayal - and somehow, they'd built a life together. A family. A future. A near-perfect kind of love.
But after a tragic accident steals their child, everything begins to unravel.
Grief turns to rage. Love turns to distance.
And when Stacey starts to see Liam slipping away, she turns to the last person Liam ever expected: an old friend... with unfinished business.
