Five years ago, an innocent man began a life sentence for murdering his own son. Today he found out his son is still alive. David Burroughs was once a devoted father to his three-year-old son Matthew, living a dream life just a short drive away from the working-class suburb where he and his wife, Cheryl, first fell in love--until one fateful night when David woke suddenly to discover Matthew had been murdered while David was asleep just down the hall. Half a decade later, David's been wrongly accused and convicted of the murder, left to serve out his time in a maximum-security prison--a fate which, grieving and wracked with guilt, David didn't have the will to fight. The world has moved on without him. Then Cheryl's younger sister, Rachel, makes a surprise appearance during visiting hours bearing a strange photograph. It's a vacation shot of a bustling amusement park a friend shared with her, and in the background, just barely in frame, is a boy bearing an eerie resemblance to David's son. Even though it can't be, David just knows: Matthew is still alive. David plans a harrowing escape, determined to achieve the impossible - save his son, clear his own name, and discover the real story of what happened. But with his life on the line and the FBI following his every move, can David evade capture long enough to reveal the shocking truth?

Cannie Shapiro ha 28 anni. E' carina, è spiritosa, ha tanti amici. Scrive, con humor e stile, per il quotidiano della sua città, il "Filadelfia Examiner". E' grassa. O, se preferite, "rotonda", "appetitosa", "sensuale". La cosa non la turba più di tanto, almeno fino al giorno in cui il quasi-ex-fidanzato, Bruce, giornalista per una popolare rivista di moda, non dedica alle sue rotondità un pezzo dal titolo imbarazzante: "Brava a letto. Amare una donna abbondante". Cannie è sconvolta. Tanto più che, nell'articolo, Bruce rivela di considerare definitivamente chiusa la loro relazione, ufficialmente solo congelata nella più classica (e ipocrita) delle pause di riflessione. Lo shock proietta Cannie in una dimensione nuova, fatta di dolore e insicurezza, ma anche di ironia, di incontri improbabili, di colpi di scena, delle scommesse e delle vittorie che le regaleranno l'anno più travolgente e incredibile della sua vita.
