Sabine Sugar has already moved her family once because of the vile rumours about her eldest son, Leo.

But even though she’s always believed he had nothing to do with the death of a fifteen-year-old he met at a party, her faith in him is about to be tested to the limit.

Walking her dogs in the woods, she witnesses a boy, armed with a knife, fighting with a teenage girl. From a distance, it looks suspiciously like Leo.

Sabine convinces herself she must be mistaken – until the girl’s parents report her missing.

Although Leo protests his innocence when the police come knocking at their door, Sabine must decide whether to trust his word again - or tell the police what she saw.

The only thing she knows for certain is that this time she’s not running away.

And she’ll do whatever it takes to uncover the truth about what really happened in those woods on that dank November afternoon…
