When Harper overhears something she was never meant to hear she starts investigating And the investigation leads somewhere none of them expected.
This isn't just a story about a little girl in danger.
It's about five brothers who will stop at nothing to find her, and the devastating secret they must face to do it.
Some secrets don't stay buried.
