Plot Synopsis

After 13 years held captive by her kidnapper, Ivy Moxam escapes from the cellar that has been her prison. Once at the police station, she's interviewed by Detective Inspector Elliott Carne and Detective Sergeant Lisa Merchant. Ivy states she'd never been let out all those years, but reveals very little about her captor. As the police locate the house where she'd been held captive, they discover her abductor has fled and destroyed most of the evidence. Looking to Ivy for leads in the case, it's evident to the police that her statement has many loose ends. What is she hiding and why is she protecting the man who harmed her? Before she was kidnapped, Ivy was lavished with love and affection by her parents, Christina and Angus, and doted by her younger sister, Emma. A late bloomer, she grew inseparable from her more confident best friend Eloise and her first boyfriend Tim, who she obsessed over in the way only a teenager can. However, once in captivity, she lived a life in darkness and solitude. After her escape, Ivy's shifting between identities and struggles with being all things to all people, which make her wonder if she ever really can be free. Emma was just beginning to find herself when her sister Ivy was abducted. Spending her teenage years with her every move monitored by her parents, she abandoned the idea of academia in order to stay close to her mother Christina. She knows her fiance Craig will always love and support her, but with Ivy back in her life, she can only watch as the cracks and lies in her family unravel.
