When five-year-old Molly walks into a gas station on the outskirts of town, alone and barely speaking, one sheriff's deputy is determined to reunite her with her missing mother.

The mother of a young girl is missing. Time is of the essence and Deputy Gray plunges into the investigation, determined to find her and reunite mother and child. When the sheriff brings a familiar face in to take charge, things begin to unravel at a pace hard to keep up with, and what they find is every law enforcement officer's worst nightmare.

That is until you dig a little deeper and learn that no matter how perfect things look, every town has its secrets.

However, the townspeople aren't the only ones that she is committed to serve and protect. She's also the unofficial caretaker of her father and adult sisters, a family fractured by tragedy. Her role is heavy and rarely appreciated, but she'll stop at nothing to try to piece them back together one day.
