One night, Alicia shoots Gabriel five times in the face and then never speaks another word. Her refusal to speak turns the crime into a public mystery. Six years later, Theo Faber, a criminal psychotherapist, becomes obsessed with Alicia’s case and secures a job at The Grove, the secure psychiatric facility where she is held. Theo is determined to uncover the motive behind the murder and believes he is the only one who can get her to talk.
