The lives of the three Emery sisters changed forever when Alex, at eleven, discovered their mother drowned in the bathtub. Following their mother’s suicide, their father emotionally shut down, leaving Alex responsible for her younger sisters, Colleen and Riley. Now adults, the sisters are navigating their own paths: Alex, a nurse, grapples with infertility while traveling in India; Colleen is a devoted mother in denial about her crumbling marriage; and Riley appears to lead a glamorous life as a model in New York City. Despite the passage of time, the trauma from their mother’s death continues to create distance among them. One stormy March night, Alex, alone in an inherited farmhouse, answers a knock at the door to find Riley, who has long been estranged from the family. Colleen had hired a private investigator to find her, and Alex is both comforted and puzzled by Riley's sudden appearance. Questions arise: How did Riley navigate the storm? Why does she want to disappear again? Determined to reconcile and confront their painful past, Alex and Colleen seek to uncover the truth about Riley. However, as they draw closer to finding her, they fear that what they uncover may be filled with secrets. This poignant tale explores themes of grief, love, and the haunting nature of family ties.
