When Leila hit the restart button on her life, she never expected things to get worse than they already were.
Once a victim of sadistic torture and torment, she had only one joy in the world. Her daughter, Bella.
Then one morning, all that changed.
Bella gets kidnapped, and Leila finds out from an ominous phone call that she has a week to identify and find the kidnapper, or her little girl dies.
She enlists the help of her best friends, Scott Harper and Darcy Grant, but Leila begins to understand that her closest allies seem to be harbouring dark pasts of their own. Pasts that connect them to whatever happened to Bella.
Leila soon realises that she's going to have to face the same fears she ran away from two years ago. Her past can never be changed, but she alone holds the power to alter the future, and she is going to have to fight her demons if she ever wants to see Bella again.
She needs to play the kidnapper's sick game and figure out who they are before it's too late.

As time goes on, Jessica finds it harder to decide who to trust and who not to trust. But more important than that, she finds herself questioning her feelings towards the one person that she knows she shouldn't trust or love.

Kieran is a fifteen year old teenager that has three siblings named Cameron, Jessica and Susannah, lives with his father as well as another unwanted person. Lauriel in the meantime has an older brother named Aaron, who is her only sibling, and truly truly hates life. She hates her family, her parents and everything in general. When she does something that she hopes her family never finds out about, she ends up going somewhere that she's never been before as well as meeting someone she doesn't remember ever meeting, but knows. All of a sudden, her life has changed (can't say for better or for worse) and she realises she's in a life or death situation. Same with Kieran.
