But when Chrissy arrives to collect Leo from prison, he isn&’t there. The staff tell her he has already been released, but nobody knows where he&’s gone.As the village closes ranks, Chrissy realizes her former friends are suspects in her son&’s disappearance, not the least of which is still-bitter Alice. Is Leo being punished for what happened that terrible night? Or do the answers lie further back, in a dark past none of them wants to revisit?
