His older sister, Beth, thought he was dead. His childhood friend Josh thought it was all his fault. They were the last two people to see him alive.
But now, Sam has been found, and he's coming home. Beth desperately wants to understand what happened to her brother, but her family refuses to talk about it-even though Sam is clearly affected by the abuse he faced at the hands of his captor.
And as Sam starts to confide in Josh, Josh can't admit to the truths he's hidden deep within himself, like the feelings he's developing for shy, sensitive Sam. And, even bigger, that he didn't tell the police everything he saw the day Sam disappeared.
As Beth and Josh struggle to be good allies, the past and the present collide in explosive and irreversible ways. Beth can't live in silence. Josh can't live with his secrets. And no one can pretend that life has truly returned to normal.
