Part 2/7:
Riley's legal repercussions are significant: a prison sentence of 4 to 10 years and financial restitution to the victim’s family. On release from prison, his once-bright future in investment banking crumbles, leaving him with the burden of an unhealed past and a shadow that looms over his return to his hometown of Crockett Island.
Return to Crockett Island
After spending four years in prison, Riley is welcomed back by his mother, Annie, while his father Ed's disapproval hangs heavy in the atmosphere. As Riley reconnects with family, his childhood friend Aaron—who had vanished years earlier—is also present, adding personal tension to the emotional landscape of the island.
