Jane throws herself into the search, tracking down her mother’s old friends and relatives. The more she digs, the more secrets she uncovers about her mother’s hidden past.
Then Jane’s husband, Trevor, starts avoiding her questions, and trying to stall her search – and Jane begins to wonder if the people closest to her are the ones she should trust least…
