Secrets unravel. Truths twist. And the shadows lurking just beyond the light might be closer than she ever imagined.
As the line between reality and illusion blurs, Sage has to decide what's real... and what's worth holding on to.
Heartbreaking, haunting, and impossible to put down, In the Background will pull you into a love story where nothing is as it seems.
