She has protected her loved ones from the truth. Can she save them from her past?

Sarah Calhoun is a regular soccer mom in Sydney, but she harbors terrifying secrets from everyone she loves… and her past is about to catch up with her.

When two men from Northern Ireland come after her, she is forced to return to Belfast to testify in a murder trial. Caught in the crossfire of an obsessive cop with a chilling past and a ruthless IRA enforcer, Sarah faces an impossible choice: lie and let a murderer go free, or tell the truth and put her children in danger.

With her family and innocent people at risk, Sarah must find the courage to fight for the truth. But fixing the mistakes of the past could cost her everything…

This fast-paced, explosive thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat until its shocking finale.
