Synopsis

Ambitious attorney Iris has a hard time balancing her life as a single mother of an autistic son, and a career as a successful lawyer. One day, while staying at her mother’s house, she stumbles upon a dark family secret. Iris discovers she has a brother, who’s existence has been kept a secret. And for a reason. Autistic Ray has spent the last 20 years in a psychiatric prison, convicted for the brutal murders of his neighbour and her baby daughter. Iris is taken by Ray’s faith, not in the least because she sees striking and frightening similarities between him and her son Aron. Having convinced herself that her brother can’t be the murderer, she embarks on a hunt for the truth. Only to discover a story far darker than she could’ve ever imagined.
