'MUM, LISTEN TO ME. DO EXACTLY AS I SAY, OR WE COULD BOTH END UP DEAD.'
It seems like any other morning at Nadine Fitzmaurice's office job, until she receives a shocking phone call from her teenage daughter. Becca confesses to killing someone, saying she is now being held hostage. And Nadine must follow a series of mysterious instructions in order to keep her alive.
Terrified but determined to save her daughter, Nadine finds herself dragged into the underworld of organised crime, lying to everyone in her life to protect Becca.
But as Becca's captors increase their demands, secrets from Nadine's past rush to the surface, including memories of a teenager who went missing and never came home. Could there be a link to her disappearance and the danger Becca is in now? And if someone is out for revenge, can Nadine rescue her daughter before it's too late?
