Twenty-six-year-old Casey thought love and a fierce stubborness would be enough to hold together her fragile new family with fiance Michael and his three children: two difficult teens and a quirkly little girl prone to stress-induced stomachaches. But Michael's ever-lengthening silences make her wonder if she has a place in the house at all. Then, fourteen- year-old Dylan doesn't show up at school, pushing Casey's uncertainly to the backburner. His father's convinced he's just cutting class, but Casey fears something much worse as every lead she chases turns up nothing. Then, the kids' volatile mother crashes on the scene daughter Angel digs up an ugly fact about Casey's past, and suddenly Casey's new lifeβher fresh startβunravels before her eyes. Even if they can find Dylan safe and sound, it's clear that this family's problems run much deeper than anyone dared say out loud.
