Morgan Carter lives under the iron fist of her father, Logan, a man whose charm hides cruelty and secrets. When her sister Alisha mysteriously disappears, Morgan becomes desperate to find her — even if it means sneaking out, lying, and risking Logan’s wrath.

Her friends Cordell Walker and Geri Broussard quickly notice something is wrong, and despite Morgan’s attempts to shut them out, they refuse to leave her side. Together, the trio begins digging into Alisha’s disappearance, uncovering whispers, overlooked evidence, and dangerous truths. But Logan and his partner-in-crime Hoyt aren’t blind — they catch wind of the kids’ snooping, tightening the cage around Morgan until she’s nearly broken by Logan’s violent outbursts.

Struggling to hide her injuries at school, Morgan finally breaks down under Cordell and Geri’s care, and with everything in the open, they form a plan. Using Cordell’s quiet connections at the police department, the trio uncovers the truth: Alisha has been held captive by Logan all along.

A desperate, high-stakes rescue follows, ending with Alisha freed, Hoyt and Logan exposed, and the truth finally dragged into the light.

In the aftermath, healing isn’t instant. Morgan focuses all her energy on protecting her sister, refusing to let Alisha out of her sight, while leaning on Cordell and Geri as her found family. For the first time, she believes survival isn’t the end of her story — it’s the beginning of something new.
