How far can Kim go to uncover the truth? Seeking answers, she returns to the remote town where Sami grew up to confront the ghosts of her childhood. However, the deeper she digs, the more hidden secrets she uncovers about Sami's family... and the closer she gets to the unspeakable trauma of her dark and twisted past.
