Amy Kennedy, partially dressed, lies on top of a creased duvet. Her eyes are half open. A year after her mother's death, her depression threatens to engulf her. Her mother's cruel and violent tones still rage in her head. 'No tears, no tears now or I'll give you something to cry about.' She is along. A letter arrives. It is addressed to her mother. Vague childhood memories are stirred. Desperate to emerge from the blackness, the contents of the letter fire Amy to embark on a dangerous journey that she hopes will uncover the awful secret that destroyed her mother's life … and ruined her childhood. But, the truth that begins to emerge is worse that she imagined.
