The world of beloved influencer, Gemma Fitzgerald, seems ready to implode when the body of her brother, Max - who disappeared 18 years earlier - is washed up on a beach. Everyone thought Max had taken his own life the night of his twenty-first birthday party, but Gemma knows the truth - she is responsible for Max's disappearance.

With the police bearing down from one side, and her glamorous lifestyle hanging by a thread, it seems the devastating truth is about to destroy Gemma's life and take her away from her precious little boy.

Gemma has created a dazzling world in trying to forget that fateful night. What if it's all been a lie?
