Alison Brooks leads a low-key life between two jobs until her extraordinary talent changes everything. As a practiced lip reader, hardly a word remains hidden from her. This rare skill makes the deaf young woman the ideal ally for an explosive police investigation. Detective Sergeant Ashleigh Francis asks Alison for support: In the bar where she works, a group of men regularly meet who are suspected of planning a spectacular coup. While the gang feels unobserved, Alison follows every whispered word and becomes an invisible witness to collusion. What starts as a help for the police quickly develops into a dangerous game with a double bottom. Alison's observations drive the investigation, making it an indispensable part of the operation. But with every new piece of information, the risk also grows. The boundaries between proximity and distance are blurred. Especially when Alison develops feelings for one of the alleged gang members. Caught between loyalty and passion, courage and fear, Alison must decide how far she wants to go. As the tension rises and the situation increasingly escalates, much more is at stake for them than just an investigative success.
