Synopsis

Leah Kincaid, a successful defense attorney in Atlanta, believes she has meticulously buried the ghosts of her past. However, when she's assigned a high-profile case defending a wealthy man accused of a heinous crime, the details eerily echo a traumatic event from her youth. This case forces her back into contact with her estranged sister, Michelle, with whom she shares a dark, unspeakable secret from their impoverished and brutal upbringing. As Leah navigates the complexities of the legal system, she finds herself entangled in a desperate battle not only for her client's freedom but for her own and Michelle's survival. The lines between justice and revenge blur, challenging Leah to confront the true meaning of false witness and the lengths one will go to protect the ones they love, even when those loves are steeped in blood and betrayal. Slaughter expertly weaves a tale of suspense, trauma, and the enduring, often destructive, bonds of sisterhood.
