Seven years later, out of the blue, Sarah receives news that Philip is still alive. But the man who greets her in front of a crowd of journalists at the airport is a stranger -- and he threatens Sarah. If she exposes him, she will lose everything: her house, her job, her son... her whole beautiful life.
