Sometimes the lie isn't what you're told, it's what you choose to believe. When Theo Raeken returns to Beacon Hills after years of absence, Avery McCall is forced to confront a past she never truly buried. As Avery begins to come to terms with losing a version of herself she thought she had already lost, Theo stands at the center; comforting and intoxicating. With him, old memories feel warm instead of painful, laughter comes easier, and the parts of herself she thought were lost begin to bloom again. As their connection deepens, so does the feeling that something isn't right. While others see red flags, Avery sees history and hope. Where they sense danger, she feels comfort. Loving Theo feels natural-inevitable-and Avery begins to wonder if trusting him is simply part of loving him. Caught between loyalty and intuition, love and suspicion, Avery must decide how much of herself she's willing to risk for the comfort of the past; and what happens when the truth refuses to stay buried.
