Patrick Reade is serving an 18-year sentence for the brutal murder of his wife, Charlotte—a crime he swears he didn't commit. When his son Jacob is adopted and taken to New York by close family friends Greg and Isabelle DeWitt, Patrick begins to suspect a betrayal. Having left the UK for good, the DeWitts live in sheer opulence, funded by Greg's elaborate global fraud, which harbours dark secrets directly linked to Charlotte's death.

Nearly two decades later, Patrick, broken and running out of hope, stumbles upon a clue that reignites his drive to uncover the truth. With freedom on the horizon, he must find his estranged son, Jacob, and persuade him to help expose the truth before Greg vanishes for good, taking with him a stolen fortune and the secrets surrounding Charlotte Reade's death—secrets that could finally clear Patrick's name.

With justice long overdue, Patrick launches a relentless investigation from the confines of his prison cell, tracing Greg's treachery from London to New York. Racing against time, he must uncover the truth, reconnect with his son, and expose the betrayal in this gripping tale of family bonds and redemption.
