This psychological suspense follows the mind as it handles lies, secrets, and guilt. How can a man's absence persuade better than his presence? What happens when one chooses silence over confrontation? Manipulation over confession? Suppression over communication?
When a disappearance is connected to a murder, which uncovers three suicides, thefts, bankruptcy, and ultimately, betrayal, the situation unravels quickly. Everyone, from their own corner of the story, begins to unearth long-buried truths.
Everybody knows something. Each has a piece of the puzzle.
A desperate woman clings to her dying sister while lamenting her unfortunate past. A man writes a lengthy letter recounting the events of a certain night. Fired journalist Elijah Gustav takes on the case as a distraction - only to discover he's a character in the story himself. And Agnes Whittaker, the devastated wife of a missing man, stumbles upon a hidden photograph that changes everything. What do they all have in common? Tiny actions that make them guilty before the law. Actions that although came from pure and sincere hearts, were by law crimes.
