When her husband falls gravely ill, Frankie''s mother takes over, causing serious trouble for her daughter. And her cousin, an unscrupulous local builder, starts to help her for his own reasons.

But Frankie''s problems worsen as her father goes missing from hospital. Is there more to his illness than met the eye?
Can Frankie and Jericho help uncover the truth and put an end to the danger she''s in before it''s too late?
