It begins in the small, affluent town of
Fairview, Connecticut, where everything seems picture perfect.
Until
one night when young Jenny Kramer is attacked at a local party. In the hours
immediately after, she is given a controversial drug to medically erase her
memory of the violent assault. But, in the weeks and months that follow, as she
heals from her physical wounds, and with no factual recall of the attack, Jenny
struggles with her raging emotional memory. Her father, Tom, becomes obsessed
with his inability to find her attacker and seek justice while her mother,
Charlotte, struggles to pretend this horrific event did not touch her carefully
constructed world.
As Tom and Charlotte seek help for their daughter, the fault lines
within their marriage and their close-knit community emerge from the shadows
where they have been hidden for years, and the relentless quest to find the
monster who invaded their town - or perhaps lives among them - drive this
psychological thriller to a shocking and unexpected conclusion.
