At sixteen, Peyton has Thea. Ten years later, Peyton is faced with telling Thea who her real father is. She's been worried about telling Thea the truth as she never wanted to. Ben, Peyton's high school sweetheart and now husband, has stood beside Peyton and claims Thea as his own.
With all of this going on, she is also faced with her neighbors dealing with the aftermath of a horrible night that changes everyone's life. Will life ever be as easy as before Thea learns the truth, and what happens when the Agent on the case from ten years ago shows back up and now Peyton to tell Thea the truth?
Perhaps things would have turned out differently. Maybe I could have avoided what was to come. Maybe it's a game life wanted me to play, and there's no forfeiting or escaping. I simply have to follow the rules and hopefully make it to the final round, even if that means that I'll be buried six feet underground like him.
