What to expect

A must-listen domestic drama that tells the gripping story of two families faced with a tragedy that could change them forever.

Two couples. Two daughters. Two sons. One tragedy. Too many secrets.

Lauren Rivers has it all.

Two beautiful daughters, a doting husband, and a home that belongs on the cover of a magazine. She also has roots that run deep in the esteemed beach town of Flagport, Massachusetts.

When Evie Sullivan moves across the street, the two become fast friends. Evie is nothing like Lauren's other friends. She's quiet, contemplative, and holds steady to her modest upbringing. These are the things that Lauren loves about her new best friend.

But that all changes when Lauren's teenage daughter, Lily, is in a car accident. As Lauren races to the hospital to see the daughter she's always put on a pedestal, she runs into Evie's family. What she finds out next will threaten their friendship forever. Fears set in, secrets come to the surface, and one of the women must come to terms with her past.
