They had the perfect marriage. Until she was found alive...
In 2020, Kaleigh Creedy's life changed forever when she and her friends, Emma and Leila, were attacked during a birthday trip. Kaleigh was the only survivor, and the only person left to tell the story of what happened that night.
Five years later, Kaleigh has rebuilt her life. Married to a famous footballer and a celebrity in her own right, she appears to have everything she ever wanted.
Then the impossible happens.
Emma is found alive.
Suddenly, Kaleigh's version of events is thrown into doubt. As questions mount and the tabloids descend, the life she has carefully built begins to unravel.
Because Emma's story doesn't match Kaleigh's.
