When the truth comes for you, it comes for your family too...
For twenty-seven years, four mothers have lived with a lie.
The secret they share has shaped every decision they've made, every friendship they've kept, and every truth they've hidden from their children.
Now, when someone threatens to expose what really happened to a girl named Alena, the four women will do anything to stop their lives from falling apart.
But the attack comes through their children, manipulated online into a dangerous game. And as danger closes in around their families, they are forced to confront a terrible possibility: the biggest threat to their children may be the secrets their mothers refuse to tell.
A gripping thriller about motherhood and guilt, exploring how far people will go to protect themselves - and what happens when their children pay the price.
