Eight years later, when Lachlan, her teenage sweetheart, returns from America looking for her, she discovers Ryan has been living with Lachlan's sister. A lot has happened in those eight years and everyone in Lachlan's family wants the truth to remain hidden. Regardless of what happened all those years ago, Stephanie wants her child back and she is willing to do whatever it takes to have him returned to her care. When Stephanie finds out Aunt Sonia had ties to the Hunt family and she's not as alone in the world as she'd thought, her decision to take Ryan is even harder. How can she reconcile the decisions made by others eight years ago with her present situation and do what is best for Ryan? Ultimately, there is only one solution, but will she be able to live with that decision?
