CONFINEMENT

One of them isn't going to have their baby.

The transition into motherhood is billed as the most exciting time in a woman's life. When Della, Sasha, and Lucy meet at a pre-natal class the trio begin a new friendship, and look forward to supporting each other through this shared intense journey.

Della is a high flying barrister who is hiding her own secrets about her pregnancy. And all nurse Sasha has ever wanted is to become a mum. Their husbands, Hugh and Colt, run a highly successful private security firm – they share everything, even lies.

But Lucy isn't really there to make friends. She's there to make sure one of them doesn't have their baby, so she can take back what is rightly hers. But who is she after, and which of the women's husbands is she trying to steal?

When the three take a break together, a last relaxing hurrah before night feeds kick in, Della begins to feel something amiss with this new woman. But caring Sasha can't believe that their new friend has anything but good intentions. But which of them isn't going to reach the end destination of motherhood?
