Stephanie, a young widow who writes a moms blog while raising her young son, becomes wrapped up in the disappearance of her best friend, Emily, also a loving mother with a husband and son. With terrible secrets of her own and budding feelings for Emily's husband, Stephanie starts to suspect that there's something devious underfoot with Emily's family, and soon there's a dead body to prove it. It's a story of betrayals and role reversals with the ever-revolving question of who's duping whom.
