It's been four years since the car crash took away her father and Sam Beckett's nightmares are back with a vengeance. When her friend suggests she take a PI course to distract herself, Sam agrees, but she soon realises it won't be as simple as she expected when her first case leads to a woman being killed, her husband accused of her murder, and a series of threatening text messages sent to her phone which lead Sam to believe that her father's crash might not be the accident everyone thought it was.

Returning home days after leaving town wasn't a decision Sam Beckett made lightly, and the newspaper articles detailing her shooting aren't making her choice any easier to accept. When a therapist is found dead in her office, Sam decides to work with CID and Detective Marshall on the case, hoping that the dead woman's troubles will be enough to help her forget her own. but with Dr Weiss' perfect image slowly crumbling as the investigation progresses, Sam finds that she isn't the only person hiding behind a lie, and that uncovering someone else's could have been what led Dr Weiss to her death.
