After nearly five years in prison, Rose is just weeks away from freedom. If she is granted parole.

Probation officer Cate Austin must decide whether Rose is remorseful for the shocking crime that put her behind bars, or whether she remains a threat to society. As Cate is drawn in, she begins to doubt her own judgement.
