β¦ Synopsis
"A mother is just a woman who gave birth to you. You don't need her to like you, or love you. Because a mother's just another person.
She was. And now she's dead."
Growing up, Rae played the good girl, hoping to win her mother Marlene's love. But Marlene favored Rae's dangerous older brother Thomas, even after he nearly got teenage Rae killed. The night Thomas disappeared was the best night of Rae's life.
Now 28 years old and engaged, Rae is nursing Marlene, who has advanced cancer and one last request: for Rae to find Thomas and bring him home.
Thomas purports to be a changed man, the CEO of his own meteorically successful company. But Rae knows he's hiding something. When Marlene takes a turn for the worse, is it assisted suicide or murder?
The answer goes back decades, through secrets and pain, and comes back full circle. Rae has to figure out who she can really trust. Or else.
Poor little good...
