When Sara McCauley learns that her ex-husband is to be released from prison, she uproots her eight-year-old daughter, Tori, and moves to the neighboring town of Edgemont.

All goes well until a seemingly insignificant decision brings unwanted attention to the Larkin household, imperiling the lives of its inhabitants and forcing each of them to confront disturbing issues from their past.
