When teenage Nora Sheehan fatally shoots her brother Nico in their family home one evening, her parents' lives are shattered. Nico had been diagnosed with a terminal illness - was what Nora did an act of mercy, or something far darker? And what will happen to her now, alone in a juvenile detention centre awaiting trial, unable or unwilling to speak? Out of their depth, Angie and David Shehan turn to local lawyer Martine Dumont for help. Martine isn't just legal counsel - she's also the mother of Angie's first love, Julian, now a high-powered New York defence attorney who returns to their rural Colorado hometown to assist with the case. But Julian's arrival stirs up secrets buried in his and Angie's past - mistakes with far reaching and damaging consequences. And as the verdict looms, the two families find themselves at the mercy of the same question that will decide Nora's fate. Are you more than the worst thing you have ever done, or are some things too terrible to forgive?
