Despite the ankle monitor she must wear as part of her
parole agreement and frequent visits to her therapist, she
soon finds herself sliding back towards the type of behavior
that sent her to prison in the first place. The further down
that path she goes, however, the closer she gets to the
crime that put her in prison all those years ago. And
that\'s the one memory she can\'t face. Until, one day, Sean
tracks her down.
