Maddie has three goals in life: becoming a country music star, understanding her mother, and reconciling with her best friend. Her father's murder complicates everything...
As a teenager, Maddie Vinson witnesses the murder of her father at the hands of her best friend Audrey's dad. Making matters worse, Maddie sees Audrey driving the getaway car.
Mistakenly believing the crime resulted from an illicit affair between Mr. Vinson and Audrey's mother, Maddie feels betrayed and ends the friendship.
After the homicide, Maddie discovers a Pandora's box of family secrets, including the fact that the victim may not have been her biological father. She tries to get answers from her traumatized mother, who refuses to divulge anything about the past.
Determined to learn the truth about her parentage, Maddie leaves her newborn daughter and burgeoning country music career behind while she delves into the mystery on her own.
She soon discovers the real motive behind the violence, and it changes how she feels about Audrey's act of betrayal.
The two women are reunited, but it may be too late. Audrey has been diagnosed with a devastating illness that forces her to make an earth-shattering choice.
