The danger lies in keeping secrets.

The irony of life is not lost on high school guidance counselor Rachel Forrester: while she is educating teens about good choices, her own life is spiraling out of control. First, she learns her husband is having an affair. Second, her aging mother collapses. And third, Cameron Ford is back in her life -- again.

As Rachel struggles to get her life in order, her fifteen-year-old son, Nick, forges a bond with the taciturn Cameron. Oddly, it is this bond that opens new doors of healing and promise for them all. And it's Cameron whom Nick trusts with a dangerous secret -- a secret that may be connected to the death of Cameron's son, Jack, five years ago . . . a secret that could endanger them all.
