His mother never told anyone because she knew Buddy wasn’t a good person, and that Andrew had turned out just like him. Andrew had copies of the videotapes with the proof. At Callie’s funeral, Andrew’s mother told Leigh that she knew that Leigh and Callie killed Buddy. The Ending:Ĭallie killed Sidney and Andrew, and then herself.

Somehow, Andrew knew that the girls had killed Buddy and was back to threaten them. Leigh and Callie killed Andrew’s father Buddy, because he had repeatedly raped both girls over the years they were Andrew’s babysitters. The man Leigh is tasked with defending is Andrew, who Leigh had babysat as a child. The only person who can help her is her younger, estranged sister Callie, the last person Leigh would ever want to ask for help. If she can’t get him acquitted, she’ll lose much more than the case. More to the point, he knows what happened twenty years ago, and why Leigh has spent two decades running. But when she meets the accused, she realizes that it’s no coincidence that he’s chosen her as his attorney. It’s the highest profile case she’s ever been given – a case that could transform her career, if she wins. Then a case lands on her desk – defending a wealthy man accused of rape. She has a good job as a defense attorney, a daughter doing well in school, and even her divorce is relatively civilized – her life is just as unremarkable as she’d always hoped it would be.īut Leigh’s ordinary life masks a childhood that was far from average… a childhood tarnished by secrets, broken by betrayal, and finally torn apart by a devastating act of violence. Leigh Coulton has worked hard to build what looks like a normal life.
