What do you do when your son is arrested for murder?

Sharon Gibson, a Hamilton, Ontario, Emergency Room nurse and divorced mother of Alicia (14) and Christian (17), doesn't have things easy. Dealing with her ex-husband, juggling night shifts in Emergency, and parenting her kids take up her time. Then Christian starts skipping school, coming home late or, worse, staying out all night. Sharon wonders if he's using and selling drugs.

When Christian's vice principal summons Sharon to the school for a meeting, Sharon fears the worst. Nothing prepares her for what she finds. Then, she discovers Christian is missing.

When the dust finally settles, Christian is in jail for a crime Sharon knows he couldn't possibly have committed. She won't leave any stone unturned in her desperate attempt to prove he's innocent. Will she be able to find the proof she needs before it's too late?
