LOVE. DESIRE. CONSEQUENCES. BLOOD IS FOREVER.
On a wet evening in 1982, two police officers step into the hallway, and eight-year-old Kaily Clarke learns that some doors, once opened, never quite close again. Her father is gone. Her mother is already somewhere her daughters can't reach. In the years that follow, Kaily becomes the family's difficult one - the sister who breaks things first, so nothing can be taken from her.
Then a man arrives who seems to want her exactly as she is: no judgement, no corrections, none of the questions she's spent her life refusing to answer. He offers her everything but a name, and a place beside him in daylight. For a while, being chosen in secret feels like being chosen at all.
But in a family held together by silence, the things we hide to survive have a way of deciding who we become.
