At just eighteen, he lived a quiet life with his mother, Jenny Star—a cold, distant woman who valued control over comfort. But when he was accused of horrifying crimes he didn’t commit, Jenny didn’t defend him. She didn’t protest his arrest, didn’t hire real lawyers, and never visited him in prison. For five years, he lived behind bars, abandoned by the one person who should have fought for him. Then, the truth came out: he was innocent. The case fell apart, and he was released. Waiting outside the prison gates was Jenny, ready to take him home—as if nothing had happened. Now, face-to-face after years of silence and betrayal, mother and son must confront what remains between them: guilt, resentment, and a bond that may be beyond repair.
