Your 15-year-old son stands accused of something terrible.
Who is to blame? His friends? Social media?
Or, as his mother, is it your fault?
When Amanda finds out her teenage son, Nathan, is accused of being among a group of boys sexually bullying a young woman and causing her to take her own life, she is devastated, and convinced she is to blame. She should have been there more, known more, done more.
As memories of another death, twenty-five years earlier, and the best friend who should still be alive, begin to resurface, Amanda finds herself questioning how much any woman can ever truly know her own son. Has her sweet, good boy really become a young man capable of something so brutal?
As a woman, she wants to see him face consequences: as a mother she wants to protect her son.
