A teenage romance fractures under disease, forcing a mother into hiding with their secret daughter.

Hawk and Faye pledged forever as adolescents until a brain tumor diagnosis upended their plans. Faye disappeared overnight, carrying their unborn child, and spent the next five years raising Nina alone while her own health deteriorated under the strain of funding his treatment.

Now the wealthiest figure in Sealand, Hawk has never stopped searching. His investigation leads to a doorstep where a fading Faye and a violin-busking Nina await, confronting him with the years stolen by silence and sacrifice.
