Fourteen years ago, the Palmer sisters, Emma, Juliette, and Daphne, abandoned their home in Arden Hills and disappeared without a trace. However, when Emma discovers that she is pregnant and her husband loses his job, she is forced to return to the house that she and her estranged sisters still own, where their parents were tragically murdered. Despite the pain and trauma of their past, Emma has never shared the horrifying details of what she witnessed the night their parents died, even when she became the prime suspect. As Emma's presence in the house threatens to unravel the secrets that have been hidden for years, the sisters are drawn together once again. Emma begins to question whether she made the right decision by keeping quiet about the whispered rumors that night.

The sisters' reunion is filled with tension and unease as they navigate the emotional minefield of their shared history. Emma is haunted by the memory of her parents' murder and struggles to confront the truth about what happened that night. Juliette, on the other hand, is consumed by guilt and shame over her role in their parents' deaths. Daphne, who was the youngest sister and was present during the incident but has since blocked out the memories, tries to maintain a sense of normalcy and protect her sisters from the truth.

As Emma delves deeper into the mystery of her parents' deaths, she begins to uncover evidence that points to her siblings as potential suspects. She discovers that there were financial discrepancies in their parents' accounts and that they had been involved in illegal activities. Emma also discovers that there was a witness to the murder who has since disappeared.

As the sisters become more and more desperate to protect their secrets, they begin to take extreme measures. They tamper with evidence, intimidate witnesses, and even resort to violence. Emma becomes increasingly fearful for her safety and wonders if she will ever be able to uncover the truth about what happened that night.

Despite the danger and chaos that surrounds them, the sisters are determined to keep their secrets buried. They are willing to do anything to protect each other and their shared history. However, as the stakes continue to rise, Emma begins to question whether it is worth sacrificing her own safety and integrity to keep the past hidden.

In the end, Emma must confront the truth about what happened that night and decide whether to come forward with the information that could finally bring the killers to justice. The decision is a difficult one, but Emma knows that she cannot keep quiet about the truth any longer. She must do what is right, even if it means risking everything she has ever known and loved.

The Palmer sisters' story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of keeping secrets and the consequences of living in denial. It is a story of love, betrayal, and redemption, and it reminds us that the past can never be truly buried, no matter how hard we try.
