When Chloe attends a party held by the Chief of Police, she sees a woman among the guests and passes out on the spot. And with good reason: as she reveals to Rocher upon awakening, the woman is none other than her own mother, presumed to have been beaten to death by her father 20 years previous. Despite a growing accumulation of evidence contrary to her convictions, Chloe throws herself headlong into an investigation that becomes a personal quest to retrace her mother’s troubled past.
