When the real estate agent who sold the house is brutally murdered she is once again branded a killer. Before their marriage, Celia confided the secret of her earlier life. At the age of ten, Liza Barton shot her mother in their New Jersey home while trying to protect her from her violent stepfather. As Celia fights to prove her innocence, she is not aware that her life and the life of her son are in jeopardy..
