It is midnight on Halloween morning, and Jen is anxiously waiting for her 18-year-old son, Todd, to come home. Her concern about his missed curfew quickly turns into something far more terrifying when she sees him step out of the darkness and stab a complete stranger.

Jen has no idea who the victim is or what led Todd to commit such a horrifying act. All she knows is that everything has changed in an instant.

After Todd is taken into custody, Jen falls asleep, overwhelmed with despair. But when she wakes up, it is the day before the murder. The crime hasn’t happened yet – and there might still be time to stop it.

Each morning Jen wakes up further back in the past, first by days, then by weeks and years. Somewhere along this journey, she believes, lies the key to understanding what led Todd to violence. She must uncover the truth and change the course of events before it’s too late.

Because the person responsible for Olivia’s disappearance isn’t using a typical weapon. Instead, they hold a powerful secret – one tied directly to Julia’s past. And they’re willing to use it to make sure Olivia’s fate stays buried. To protect her own family, Julia must ensure the truth remains hidden… even if it means framing someone else for murder.

What if solving the case meant losing everything?
