Lucy doesn't speak. She doesn't explain. And she doesn't deny the murder. Transferred from prison to a private clinic, she becomes just another patient for Dr. Steve Ruis. Until she isn't. Because Lucy doesn't break the way she should. And Steve doesn't walk away when he should. As the walls between doctor and patient begin to crumble, buried secrets, hidden loyalties, and dangerous truths rise to the surface.
The deeper Steve digs, the clearer it becomes that Lucy is hiding far more than a crime. But she isn't the only one with secrets. And by the time the truth finally comes out, they are both trapped in a game neither of them knows how to win. Some people are impossible to save. Others are impossible to leave behind.
