ABBY

When Abby Thompson discovers she was adopted, her perfectly ordered life as a successful attorney begins to unravel. The nightmares that have haunted her for years suddenly make sense as she embarks on a journey to find her birth mother-a woman known only as ICE, serving a life sentence for murder.

The shocking truth? ICE killed the father of Drake, Abby's husband. As Abby navigates this impossible coincidence, she uncovers a web of corporate secrets, hidden agendas, and strategic manipulation spanning decades. Every revelation raises more questions: Was her adoption really random? Why does her career path seem suspiciously predetermined? And most disturbing of all-is ICE truly seeking redemption, or is her maternal warmth just another calculated performance?

As ICE slowly integrates herself into their family, becoming the doting grandmother to Abby's newborn daughter, even Drake begins to believe in her transformation. But beneath the surface of family dinners and bedtime stories lies a chilling truth documented in hidden notebooks-ICE is playing the longest con of her career, and her own unexpected emotional responses are threatening to compromise her perfect performance.

Eight years later, teenage Mandy discovers her grandmother's secret journals after ICE's mysterious death. "The real story is in the edges," her grandmother had whispered. Now Mandy must unravel the ultimate mystery: Was ICE's love for her family genuine, or was it all an elaborate game? And more importantly-what legacy of frost and fire has ICE left in Mandy's blood? The game is changing. The ice is spreading. And Mandy is at the center of it all.
