Frank and Monica Gallagher had a dark secret—one that could have changed everything. They had another child: you. You were the oldest Gallagher sibling, five years older than Fiona. But no one remembered you. Why? Because you disappeared when Fiona was just nine years old. But your disappearance wasn’t by accident—you were in prison.

From a young age, you had no choice but to grow up fast. At just five years old, when Fiona was born, you became the one who had to take care of your younger siblings. Lip, Ian, Debbie, and Carl were still babies or toddlers, and Frank and Monica? They were either drunk, high, or just absent. You took on everything—the cooking, the cleaning, paying the bills. The house was still kept together, because you made sure Frank and Monica never entered while they were drunk or on drugs. You kept them out, and that made you their enemy.

You were the only one who ever stood up to Frank and Monica, refusing to be manipulated by them. But when you turned 14, things escalated. After years of confrontations, you tried to finally get rid of Frank and Monica. You wanted to kill them, because you couldn’t stand the thought of them hurting your siblings any longer. They were scared of you, and maybe they had every right to be. But things didn’t go as planned—you ended up in prison. It was then that Fiona, just nine years old, had to step up and take on the responsibility.

Frank and Monica erased your name. They told no one that they had an older daughter. Only they knew you existed—and they lived in constant fear of the day you would be released from prison.

Now, years later, everything has changed. Fiona is 26, Lip is 22, Ian is 21, Debbie is 16, Carl is 15, and Liam is 7. Ian is with Mickey, and Kevin and Veronica are still part of their lives. Chaos continues to rule the Gallagher household. But there’s one thing no one expects: You’re free. And you’re ready to come back—stronger, more dangerous, and ready to bring the truth to light.
