How far would you go to protect the person you love most?

Emergency doctor Jac Wickman knows how to hold it together when everything falls apart. Until she finds her ex-husband's body, and her teenage son's necklace lying in his father's blood.

Fleeing a detective hell-bent on closing the case, Jac burrows into her son's secret online life. What she uncovers is more terrifying than anything she's faced in the emergency room. A chilling conspiracy. Innocent victims. And Liam at the centre of it all.
