We start at the end

thirty years ago Vincent King became a killer. Having served the entire term, he returns to his native town on the coast of California, where far from everything is glad to see him again. For example, Star Radley is a sister of the one he killed.

Thirty years ago, Star Radley was a girl in Vincent King. It is so broken by its past that she sank to the very bottom and needs constant care of her own teenage daughter and Walk-a family friend.

Thirty years ago, Wal was the best friend of Vincent King. He became the chief of the local police, but he could not get rid of the all -consuming sense of guilt. After all, it was because of his testimony that Vincent went to jail for several decades.

Thirty years ago, Daches Radley was not yet born. She is only thirteen, and she already considers herself “outlawed”. The rules were invented for others - not for her. The whole family holds on it - the five -year -old brother Robin and the dissenting mother of Star Radley, whom Daces fiercely protects no matter what. And this rage launches a chain of events that turned out to be a tragedy not only for her family, but for the whole city...
