After years of tension and unanswered questions, Henry finally confronts his wife, Candace. He loves her, but he’s exhausted from standing between her and her parents — shielding their son, dodging family gatherings, and pretending the silence doesn’t matter. For the sake of their family, he needs the truth.
Candace breaks.
She confesses the secret that has haunted her since childbirth: their son, Lucas, was not biologically hers. When Candace gave birth to a girl, her parents — obsessed with producing a male heir — deemed the baby unworthy. While Candace was recovering, they secretly arranged for the newborn to be switched with a baby boy from another family. That boy became Lucas. Their daughter was erased.
