As one truth collapses the walls of the McLeod family, another, older secret finally rises from the depths. Peter’s testimony sealed the fate of his uncle. Doris’s desperate confession cracked open the McLeod façade. And now, at last, the long-buried mystery of Patsy’s death has surfaced—through grief, guilt, and the heavy cost of silence.
