Jackson's mother, Kayla, can no longer cope. Having tragically lost her husband and son, Kayla is crippled with grief and unable to manage Jackson's challenging behaviour. Aggressive, confrontational and often running away, Jackson's mother puts him into foster care. He remains volatile. Cathy, his carer, encourages Jackson to talk about what has happened but he won't engage. His actions continue to test and worry everyone. Adrian, Cathy's son, fears for her safety. Then in a dramatic turn of events, the true reason for Jackson's behaviour comes to light - and it's far darker than Cathy could ever have imagined.
