When Emilia was just two years old, her mother disappeared with her, tearing her away from the only family she'd ever known. From that moment, Emilia's life spiraled into chaos-thrown into a world of drugs, alcohol, and abuse. Trapped in a web of her mother's lies, the weight of her past is suffocating.
Ten years later, after a series of unexpected events, Lia is returned home to a family she barely remembers. Now under the care of her older brothers, strangers to her, the truth of her past begins to unravel. As secrets emerge, the question remains: Can Lia bury the scars of her past? And can her brothers keep their dangerous world hidden from her before it's too late?
