-----------------------------------------
When Emma's grandma dies, new evidence comes to light about the unsolved murder of her dad, 25 years before.
While she hunts for answers, her estranged mom pops back up, and her brother moves back to town after leaving without explanation a decade ago.
Complicating matters, her childhood next-door neighbor, Ryan, makes it clear he wants a whole lot more than to pull her hair and call her names.
Break-ins, a secret stalker, and a mysterious safe lead her on a path of self-discovery that promises to change her forever, if she can manage to survive them.
