Yet, as they settle into their new life, Maurice encounters an unfamiliar branch of his family tree-the criminal branch, led by his illegitimate father, Philippe. His half-sisters, Sophie and Marie, extend their welcome as well, but beneath the surface, deception lurks. Foreseeing no real danger, Grace encourages her husband to explore this newfound connection.
A surprise visit from the FBI reveals shocking truths about Philippe's dark side. Fear grips Grace as the depth of their peril becomes evident, but an unexpected bond develops between Maurice and his father.
