The past has a way of catching up with you... Michael and Rachel have everything to look forward to and no reason to look back, or so they thought. In the midst of the newlyweds' trials and triumphs in Riverbend, Michael receives a cryptic telegram from his sister Ellie, whom he hasn't seen in ages. Come home. We need you. The mysterious summons reminds him of the last time Ellie needed him. When Michael stabbed their abusive father and ran as far and as fast as he could before turning his life around. The message brings him back to a past filled with abuse, violence and death by his own hand. A home he never wanted to see again. Once home, Michael learns the darkest secrets of his past aren't as deeply buried as he thought. Secrets he didn't want revealed. Secrets he could no longer hide. Can he find freedom through forgiveness, or will the choice to confront the past cost him and Rachel their future?
