Out of prison after serving 25 years for murder, Ava has a new identity and a new life. But the old one hasn't finished with her yet.
The public think Ava's a monster. Ava thinks she's blameless.
In prison, they called her Butcher Bird - but Ava's not in prison any more. Released after 25 years to a new identity and a new home, Ava finally has the quiet life she's always wanted.
But someone knows who she is. The lies she's told are about to unravel.
