Twenty year old Rona Leonard walks out of her sister Fiona’s flat and disappears, leaving behind only absence and the questions that settle into everyday life.
Six years later, Fiona is worn down by a tedious job, child care, and the ache that never lifts. Then she learns something she did not know, and did not imagine. Before she vanished, Rona worked as a prostitute. The revelation blows apart what Fiona thought she understood about her sister, and about the life Rona was living beyond her sight.
Determined to find the truth, Fiona begins to investigate the industry that claimed her sister. As she is drawn into a complex world, her life starts to tilt, and what she discovers begins to challenge everything she has believed about Rona, about disappearance, and about what can be hidden in plain view.
