Eighteen-year-old Megan Ramsey reports to SVU that she was molested by her father, Evan when she was a child, hoping that it would spare her younger sisters (especially her youngest sister, Lily) of going through the same trauma.
At first, Megan's mother, Rebecca doesn't believe her, but when evidence is discovered against Evan in Lily's bedroom, he is arrested and the whole family turns against him, despite his claims of innocence.
When it's discovered that Megan planted evidence to frame Evan, the charges against him are dropped, but when Evan is found murdered in his office, the family becomes suspects. It is later revealed that Megan's allegations of childhood molestation were false memories planted by her therapist, Dr. Wharton.
