Tony has always protected his little brother Nick, but when Nick ends up in the hospital, a victim of a violent sexual assault, Tony can't see any other recourse than revenge. Julia, Tony's wife and a lawyer, tries to reign Tony in and assure him the case is in good hands and justice will be served if they are patient. But as Nick tries to heal and prepare for the court case, his attacker tells a different story Nick isn't necessarily denying. At least not outright. Lines are drawn and Julia must decide how far she'll go to protect her family.
Told from multiple viewpoints and an alternating timeline, I was quickly pulled in.
