When Rebecca moves back to her hometown for a friend's wedding, unfortunate circumstances put her near her ex-boyfriend, who left her completely broken. But her return seems to be more dangerous than she bargained for, and she searches for answers that were left unsaid. *** Becca Bradly didn't know what she was expecting when she was asked to be the maid-of-honor for her best friend's wedding. She lives in LA and has a decent life after successfully acting in a recently released movie. But she definitely didn't plan to go back to her hometown. The place she hasn't visited in five years. And the place where her broken heart still lays, shattered from her one and only ex-boyfriend. Michael Campbell was once someone people could rely on, but right before their senior graduation, that all changed, and when Becca finds herself returning home, she sees a completely different man in his place. Cold, detached and heartless, Becca finds herself constantly surrounded by the man she is supposed to hate most. And even though it's hard to ignore him when he's part of the wedding party, it's harder to do so when she realizes that the secrets he's been keeping all these years, start unravelling. The truth, however, was something she least expected, and now she has to fight for her life and the people she loves most.
