Addison stands at the altar of her upcoming wedding, but dread fills her heart. Her fiancé is perfect, yet she cannot shake the feeling that marrying him is wrong. Three years earlier, a stranger pulled her bloodied body from beside a New Jersey highway. Her injuries healed, but her memory never returned. She has no idea what her real name is or how she ended up broken on that roadside. Worse, she suspects she may have committed a terrible act before her accident. Meanwhile, in an affluent Boston neighborhood, Julian searches desperately for answers about his wife Cassandra, who vanished without warning two years ago. She left behind their seven year old daughter Valentina and a life that seemed complete. Julian refuses to believe Cassandra abandoned them willingly, but doubt creeps into his thoughts. As Addison's wedding day approaches and Julian's investigation intensifies, their separate quests for truth begin to converge in ways neither could anticipate.
