Plot summary
Will Klein once looked up to his older brother Ken until a tragic event shattered their lives: a young woman Will had once been involved with was found raped and murdered in their upscale New Jersey community. Ken emerged as the main suspect and subsequently disappeared, triggering a global search effort. After ten years without any word, Will's family concluded that Ken was lost forever.
More than a decade later, driven by his belief in Ken's innocence, Will uncovers proof that his brother is still alive. At the same time, Will's girlfriend goes missing, revealing she was not the person he believed her to be. As these occurrences develop, Will becomes entangled in a dangerous investigation with indications that Ken is attempting to communicate with him. Throughout this journey, Will reveals hidden truths about his brother, his partner, and himself—truths that others are willing to kill to keep concealed.
