Emily Carson was an elementary schoolteacher married for ten years to a real estate broker named Sam. One day Sam unexpectedly vanished. She picked up the missing person's case of her husband when local police were unable to come up with any results and they closed the file. She hired a private investigator to help her find out what happened to Sam and why. What she learned along the way about her husband's family was disturbing. He never spoke of his past or his childhood. She went on a life-altering experience in quest of solving the disappearance. She placed her life in harm's way by what she discovered and what she had to do to protect her life. From the FBI to the organized crime family of her husband, she navigated through one deception after another. She met David Kimbro and learned more about herself and how far she would go to survive.
