Akela Davis is from a prestigiously wealthy, God-fearing family in a small town community. After a heart-wrenching breakup with her boyfriend of four years, her sister and best friend plan for an unforgettable twenty-first birthday gathering to pull Akela from her timid, wholesome church girl shell. What’s not expected is how her night will unfold.
Innocent plans go array when Akela’s birthday dinner unexpectedly turns into a drunken night that consequently leads to her disappearance. In a matter of days she’s located by authorities but is found in critical condition without a clue to what occurred or who to blame. Their small town is left on edge, leaving the community in uproar without anyone to hold accountable.
As tension rises, Akela’s family becomes desperate for answers. What appears to be a solid family foundation gradually begins to crumble in the eyes of the community and decades old secrets surface, tarnishing the family name.
