With his father (Barry Bostwick) now dying, Val is finally forced to confront the past. But can he trust what he remembers? His search for the truth leaves Val with more questions and only one person with answers – Lee Anne (Nicky Whelan), a woman with dangerous ties to events surrounding the accident.
