“Unputdownable!” — Ruskin Bond. A tense, haunting, and visceral psychological thriller that unmasks what lies beneath the surface of seemingly normal lives. [1]

Sam returns home from a routine business trip a single day before his son's thirteenth birthday, eagerly looking forward to celebrating with his family. In one brutal, unexpected fell swoop, his peaceful world is cruelly shattered forever. Left reeling from an unimaginable tragedy, Sam initially believes he can cope with the grief on his own, but the emotional weight soon forces him to seek professional help. [1]

He finds Cynthia, a highly experienced and compassionate therapist. However, Sam has no idea that Cynthia is secretly fighting her own quiet battles—dealing with a draining, hostile divorce and a sinister shadow cast by her ex-husband over their young daughter, Lily. When therapist and patient find themselves trapped in the exact same emotional storm, they realize they are rowing in completely opposite directions: one helplessly clinging to the past, and the other desperate to escape it. At the absolute center of this whirlwind is Lily, who harbors a dark secret capable of completely destroying every life around her.
