Synopsis

Patrick and Elizabeth Welsh appear to lead a flawless life, the picture of a perfect family. But everything shatters when Patrick is accused of embezzlement, casting a dark shadow over their world. Months later, a haunting suicide note surfaces, and Patrick is presumed dead, leaving Elizabeth and their two sons to grapple with loss and unanswered questions.

A decade passes, and just when they begin to find some semblance of peace, a startling revelation emerges—authorities insist Patrick is still alive. Elizabeth is thrust back into a whirlwind of doubt and fear, unraveling the man she once loved and the secrets he buried. As the truth unfolds, she must confront a reality far more complex and chilling than she ever imagined.
