Young doctor Edie Carter is bright, talented and ambitious. She is embarking on
her dream career in anaesthetics and is engaged to a man who adores her. The
one thing she doesn’t have is a childhood. Suffering from traumatic repression,
large parts of her past are blank spaces.

When an unidentified patient arrives in her intensive care unit with her name
carved on his body, she realises that memories can refuse to stay buried. The
man is unknown to Edie, but digging deeper, she discovers that the patient is
Samuel Cox, a man imprisoned and brutalised over the last two decades for
horrifying crimes he had committed.

As she investigates further, and begins to reveal Cox’s motives, Edie realises
that even those she trusts have been complicit in deceiving her.

With the lives of those closest to her at risk, is Edie ready for the truth of what
happened all those years ago? And will she do whatever it takes to keep it hidden?
