When a dark secret from her great-grandmother's childhood emerges, Lucie is launched into a search for the truth about her family's past. As the old story unravels, she finds herself entangled in a web of lies that bring her dangerously close to the same fate and the shocking realization that trusting too easily makes way for the biggest betrayal of all.
