In the late 1960s, a runaway bride named Covey disappears into the surf off the coast of Jamaica, thought to be either drowned or a fugitive on the run for her husband's murder.

In present day California, a widow named Eleanor Bennett has lost her battle with cancer, leaving her two estranged children a flash drive containing untold stories of her journey from the Caribbean to America.

These stories shock her children and challenge everything they thought they knew about their family's origin.

Based on The New York Times-bestselling novel by Charmaine Wilkerson.
