She wakes to find herself alone in complete darkness. Fearing for her life, in that moment her only thought is for her beloved daughters. What will they think when they find out she's missing? Then it hits her. She's kept a secret hidden from her family for years. Is she about to pay for it with her life?
When

Detective Megan Carpenter
races to the scene for a very personal reason. Victoria is
Ronnie's
mother and Megan will do anything to help her when she has sacrificed so much.
Together they build up a picture of the days before the disappearance but the only clue is a note with the words, "
You promised
" scrawled on it. It soon emerges that Victoria's marriage was far from perfect and she had spent years running from a deadbeat brother.
Could someone in Victoria's family want her dead?

Local law enforcement warns Megan off the case but she's certain that the disappearance is more than just bad blood.
But with a potential serial killer on the loose, how much is Megan willing to risk? Worse still, could they be closer to her than she had ever imagined?
