At the crime scene, Joy notices an expensive bottle of champagne. The attached card is signed, Draven Blackmoor—the man who had brought her to the edge of destruction.

To make matters worse, a film crew meddles in the investigation. The director is obsessed with capturing every facet of the unfolding story. Meantime, Max and Joy pursue their mysterious past before being adopted by two different fathers. Just when they consider burying their past, someone unearths their secret.
