This story follows Brooke, a single mom, who just back to her hometown, where she is the new nurse at a maximum security prison. The problem is, it's not just any prison, its the prison where her ex boyfriend, Shane, is serving his sentence and she is the reason he is there.

Memories of that fatal night start to ...read more
