Life has taught Alexandra Tucker three things: 1) People are never who you think they are, 2) People hurt each other, and 3) Every family has their secrets. When Alex, a therapist, finds out she was adopted as an infant and that suspicious circumstances surround her adoption, she vows to stop at nothing to find out where she came from, despite her grandmother's warning that it's too dangerous.

Willing to risk her relationship with her only surviving relative to find her birth parents, Alex packs a bag and embarks on a journey that will change her life forever. In the process, she lands in the middle of a thirty-two-year-old murder case, finding that the closer she gets to learning the truth about her past, the more danger she's in.
