**THE PAST NEVER FORGETS.**
In a beautifully kept house in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, young Zane Bigelow feels like a prisoner of war. Outsiders see his parents as a successful surgeon and a stylish wife--until one brutal night when the family's facade shatters and gives Zane a chance to break free and begin a new life. But as she grows into manhood and builds a hopeful future, the darkness of his pact will once again threaten his safety and test his strength to defend the ones he loves.
