Kellan Patterson moved to Jackson Bay, Florida, to forge a new life with his wife and daughter. He never thought he'd find himself alone, rattling around in an empty house. Despondent and resigned to his lonely fate, the last thing he expects is his inexplicable draw to a woman eleven years his junior—his best friend's daughter. Having left the States to spread her wings, it's with her tail between her legs and three young sons in tow that Piper Fitzgerald returns to her hometown. She's back to square one and her misadventures in love have left her a gun-shy single parent. The last thing she wants is a complicated relationship, but first loves can be hard to shake. Piper's might just be impossible. He's given up on his future. She's barely getting started on hers.

When two little girls were allowed to walk home from school one bright spring day nobody could've predicted the events that followed. The way two families were torn apart by the vendetta of a deranged man. Twelve years on, we'll watch as two girls stolen away from their homes at eight years old fight to take back their lives. If only it were as simple as escaping. M for violence.
