Two years had passed since Rachel Braverman's idyllic life in Ann Arbor ruptured-the sudden untimely death of her beloved husband David, and, soon after, Emily, her ten-year-old stepchild, was beckoned back to Paris by her birth mother with the promise of solace.

Now, 12-year-old Emily, fragile and diminished, returns to Ann Arbor to live with her uncaring grandmother. Rachel's every attempt to reconnect is thwarted by Emily who is torn between the tug of memory of Rachel's love and the fear that her love for Rachel had been misplaced after her mother's venomous revelations. Lost and deeply saddened, Emily is drawn to Rachel's home, not to Rachel but instead to her family dog, Bear, the only comfort she can trust.

Confused, and plagued by flashbacks of unspeakable moments in Paris, Emily seeks comfort and safety with Lily, a social worker devoted to teens in need.

Meanwhile, Rachel, in an effort to insulate herself from the devastating and inexplicable estrangement from Emily, accepts a position in Child Protective Services with the hope of rescuing children at-risk.

Eventually, Emily, struggling to expel her demons, and with little reserves to buoy her, becomes herself a child at risk.
