Sixteen-year-old Emmett Sidney has spent his life trapped in a cycle of abuse at the hands of his father, with no one left to protect him after his mother's death. His older brother, Emilio, promised to stay-but when he turned eighteen, he left without looking back. Now, Emmett is alone, hardened by years of fists and fear. When his dad dies were does he go? Across the country, Emilio Simmons has built a life he never thought possible-a loving wife, a daughter, and a stable home. But a late-night call from the police brings his past crashing back. His father is dead, and CPS is pressuring him to take in the younger brother he abandoned. Emilio can't forget the horrors of his childhood, but facing Emmett again means confronting the guilt and trauma he buried years ago. As Emmett and Emilio's paths cross again, they must both grapple with the wounds of their past and the choices that tore them apart. Can they rebuild what was broken, or are some scars too deep to heal?
