The Girlfriend

Jennifer Fincham is still numb from the sudden death of her husband, Cole, when a young woman knocks at her door with a baby in her arms. The stranger says she was Cole's girlfriend and that the child is his.

She makes two further claims: that she owns the Finchams' family home, and that Cole borrowed money from her before he died. Jennifer has no way to dispute either one and nowhere else to go, so she reluctantly lets the woman move in.

Life under one roof turns watchful. Jennifer begins to turn up traces of a side of Cole she was never shown, among them a phone she did not know he had. Each find loosens her picture of the marriage.

This psychological thriller sets grief against betrayal, with the family home as the ground for a contest between two women. What starts as a dispute over property and a broken marriage grows darker, and Jennifer has to ask whether Cole's death was the accident everyone took it for.
