Now living in a home filled with fragile hope, he longs for belonging and love. But when dark secrets begin to surface, the fragile bonds holding the foster family together threaten to shatter.

With Ophelia by his side, Manoah must find the courage to face the past, protect the people he loves, and discover the true meaning of family.

Secrets in the Walls is a moving coming-of-age family drama that explores the hidden struggles of foster care, the power of compassion, and the resilience it takes to heal.
