SHE’S ON A REMOTE ISLAND. DEFENDING A MURDERER. BUT SHE REMEMBERS NOTHING.
Lila Dalton finds herself in the middle of a courtroom as the barrister for a man accused of a terrible crime. She has no memories of her life before this moment.
Outside, on the strange island where she is staying, things are even more unnerving: hostile locals, tapped calls, threats slipped under her hotel door. Hints from mysterious sources suggest that someone from her forgotten past is in danger – but are the threats genuine? As the trial progresses, Lila must decide who and what she can trust, and whether that includes herself…
