In the small, affluent town of Fairview, Connecticut, 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 that medically erases 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 finding her attacker and seeking justice, while her mother, Charlotte, prefers to pretend this horrific event did not touch her perfect country-club world.
As they 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.
The relentless quest to find the monster who invaded their town — or perhaps someone who lives among them — drives this psychological thriller to a shocking and unexpected conclusion.
