Who do you trust when you can’t trust the one you love?
Four years on from the devastating loss of their first child, Lauren and Alex De Vale are finally the proud parents of new baby, Charlotte.
However as Lauren – who struggled to bond with her late son – returns to work, she is riddled with anxiety.
She knows all too well that one little mistake can lead to tragedy. What if something terrible happens to Charlotte while she’s not there?
Fear, grief and guilt make for a potent mix. And all it takes is one neighbour’s offhand comment to spark Lauren’s worst fears - and deep-seated suspicions . . .
