Four mothers. One body. Many secrets. Marnie is a first-time mum in a new town, paralysed by anxiety and pushing away her police-officer husband. Peyton is a teen mum, living with her parents and longing to behave like other teenagers her age. Fleur looks like the perfect picture of a mum who is coping and loving motherhood, but no one knows that under her beautiful dress, her body is covered in bruises caused by her husband. Amalia, a single mum, lost her parents in tragic circumstances and will do anything to honour her mother’s dying wish and protect the family she has. When these women meet at mothers’ group, they bond over feeding schedules and baby products, but when a local is found murdered, they discover it’s not their babies who will tie them to one another forever. Each woman has a motive to kill and secrets to hide, but do they know who the real enemy is?
