On the eve of a death sentence, a desperate young woman bursts into my law office, claiming she is not a witness—but the evidence itself. Her father died in a fireworks explosion twenty years ago, branded a thief and a traitor, and the whole town buried the truth. Now, as the final verdict looms, her secret threatens to unravel everything—because if her story is real, the wrong man is about to die.
A lie shattered our lives. When my childhood friend Jay was framed for a crime he didn’t commit, the whole town turned its back—except for his sister Marissa, who sacrificed everything to clear his name. But in Maple Heights, loyalty is a double-edged sword: every kindness comes with a price, and the truth is just another secret buried beneath gossip and power. As Marissa’s fight for justice spirals into tragedy and Jay claws his way back with a dangerous new plan, old enemies close in, ready to destroy them all over again. When justice fails and vengeance calls, how far will love go to survive? And when the truth finally comes out, who will be left standing?
