Being a single working mom has its difficulties, but Dr.
Deborah Monroe has managed to survive without too much
fanfare. Her marriage may not have been perfect, but the
product of their love created two beautiful children who
make her existence worthwhile. Living in her hometown has
its advantages as she practices medicine with her dad and
shares her life with her free-spirited sister who always
manages to bring out the best in her.
On a cold, rainy night, Deborah leaves home to
pick up her daughter, Grace, from a friend's party.
Allowing her to drive home, Deborah's biggest worry is
getting back before her son, Dylan, wakes up. All of a
sudden, a man appears in front of their car and with no
time to swerve out of the way, they tragically hit him.
In a panic, Deborah sends Grace home to check on Dylan
while Deborah waits for the police to arrive. As she
tends to the victim, Deborah comes to realize that their
accident may just change the rest of their lives.
Thinking quickly, Deborah decides to take the blame for
her daughter in what she thinks will be the best decision
for the both of them.
What enfolds next is the domino effect of what can
happen when not telling the truth snowballs out of
control. The police incorrectly assume that Deborah was
at the wheel while the victim suddenly takes a turn for
the worse. As the stakes get higher, Deborah and Grace
decide to keep their secret, which ultimately starts to
force this mother and daughter apart. Will they be able to
keep themselves together without destroying their lives in
the process?

turning saga filled with drama and heart-wrenching
emotion. Spell-binding, suspenseful, and soul-stirring...

Nothing will break this mother-daughter bond. Not even
the truth.
Deborah Monroe and her daughter, Grace, are driving home
from a party when their car hits a man running in the dark.
Grace was at the wheel, but Deborah sends her home before
the police arrive, determined to shoulder the blame for the
accident. Her decision then turns into a deception that
takes on a life of its own and threatens the special bond
between mother and daughter.
