Hun har kendt hende hele livet …
Andrea Oliver ved alt om sin mor Laura. Hun ved, at hun altid har boet i den lille by Belle Isle. Hun ved, at hun er en respekteret og fasttømret del af samfundet. Hun ved, at hun ingen hemmeligheder har.
Men hun skjuler noget …
Men så en dag ender en tur til indkøbscenteret i et blodbad og en chokerende voldshandling, og pludselig ser Andrea en helt anden side af sin mor.
Og det kan slå dem begge ihjel …
Timer senere er Laura er på hospitalet og på forsiden af alle aviser. Det går langsomt op for Andrea, at hun alligevel ikke kender sin mor så godt, som hun troede. Farerne er først lige begyndt, og Andrea må ud på en livsfarlig jagt for at finde sandheden om sin mors fortid, før det er for sent. Gør hun det ikke, er begge deres liv i fare.
