Welcome to North Falls-a small town with big secrets.
The house at 1601 Iris Drive looks like any other in the quiet, residential street. But rumours are rife about the Vickery family, and what goes on behind closed doors.
Then one afternoon gunshots ring out. Allison Vickery is found murdered in her own kitchen, her teenage daughter bleeding and left for dead.
Everyone thinks they know what happened. But they're wrong. The truth is more shocking than anyone could ever have imagined.
Secrets are everywhere in this small town. And it's up to Detective Emmy Clifton to uncover the truth...
