Sometimes leaving your own land hides, disguises or in some way transforms your desire to be someone other than who you were. The labels turned into indelible tattoos, the past recovered in each step through the streets where you were that me of yesteryear. If at some point you felt like a stranger in your land or if your long shadow prevented you from flying towards what you wanted to be, getting out of there may become the only opportunity to be free.

Something like this happens to Abby Williams, turned into a reputed lawyer. However, when a case looms at her firm about Optimal Plastics, the company from her hometown of Barrens, the task of the investigation seems to be looming over her.

It seems as if chance or misfortune wanted to take her back to her village. The punishment for taking too much to heart that of his most precious freedom, carved in the anonymity of a big city like Chicago.

And Barrens is still there, as if suspended in time, only now capable of giving him a kind of ironic smile at his unexpected return. And what is worse of all, in the end the case of Optimal Plastics seems to be taking a sinister caress and her return home is leading her towards another investigation from which she cannot escape because it concerns her personally, in her historical memory shared with its village neighbors.

Wanting to escape from the past does not mean that, given the moment, Abby can try to respond fully to the darkest, which pushed her out of there underground. From Optimal Plastics a new path branches out that ends up crossing with the disappearance of the young Kaycee Mitchell. It has been more than 10 years since that ..., and since then an uncomfortable silence settled into everyday life.

But Abby can't give up taking that new path. It is sinisterly tempting to find out more about the missing young woman. Only what he can find out compromises everything, his current lifestyle, his past, the survival of Barrens and ultimately his own life ...
