Her front door hasn't been graffitied in more than a year but that's soon about to change - her son, Craig, is being released from prison. Local journalist, Luke Harding is determined to warn the public. As the person who covered the arrest and trial all those years ago, he knows the kind of predator Craig really is. Luke's worst fears are realised after a girl goes missing days after Craig's release and he becomes obsessed with trying to prove that Craig was behind it. Erica is worried, too - but how can a mother turn her back on her son? And how far will she go to protect him?“--Provided by publisher ER -
