In 1986, at age fifteen, Melaine Rosso became the last surviving member of her family. Nine years later, she learned the truth. There was one more. Intense, intimidating and gifted with a photographic memory, Melaine Rosso moves through life knowing there is one single hour missing from the rooms of memory that are carefully organized in her head. One hour that is locked tight and behind its door houses an unspeakable tragedy that she's more than happy to not remember. An event that left her thinking she was alone in the world until an aging family friend with dementia let it slip...she wasn't. A nurse since the age of twenty, she plays everything by the book at work, keeping her patients alive and safe; outside of work is a different story. Impulsive with a skewed moral compass, she knows how people work and is quick to use it to her advantage, but this new addition to her life changes everything.
