Summary
Living peacefully in Vermont, Ryan Flannigan is shocked when a text from her oldest friend alerts her to a devastating news item. A controversial photo of her as a pre-teen has been found in the possession of a wealthy investor recently revealed as a pedophile and a sex trafficker - with an inscription to him from Ryan's mother on the back. Memories crowd in, providing their own distinctive pictures of her mother Fiona, an aspiring actress, and their move to the West Village in 1976. Ryan is discovered and thrust into the spotlight as a promising young actress. Suddenly, the safety and comfort Ryan longs for is replaced by auditions, paparazzi and the hungry eyes of men of all ages. Forced to reexamine her childhood, Ryan begins to untangle her young fears and her mother's ambitions. Even with her movie career long behind her, Ryan and Fiona are suddenly the object of uncomfortable speculation. To put the past to rest, Ryan will need to face the painful truth of their relationship, and the night when everything changed
