Not every secret can stay buried… Kyle Reed's life as a pre-law college student gets muddled when a cold case investigator shows up to question her mom about an unsolved murder. In 1980, Marty Cox was killed in her home and the culprit was never identified. Kyle, only eight years old at the time, doesn't remember much about Marty—except her affair with Kyle's dad. Because of the affair, Gerald and Annette Reed were considered suspects. Twelve years have passed, but Kyle has rarely spoken to her mom, Annette, about Marty—or about her dad leaving the family—out of respect for Annette’s feelings. Kyle’s attempt to revisit and expand her patchwork of recollections gets no help—or encouragement—from her mother or brother. Driven by a need to make sense of her past, Kyle visits her dad's favorite old haunt, the Junkyard Lounge. The tangible reconnection with the place where her dad's affair began, prompts memories of abuse and abandonment to the surface for Kyle. As Marty's case gets revitalized—and Kyle discovers new information—suspicion around Annette intensifies. Gritty revelations threaten to destroy Kyle’s relationships, and pushing certain people too far puts Kyle’s life in jeopardy. When every little secret comes to light—including Kyle's own secrets—will she be able to live with the truth?
