Four very different mothers meet at a local support group, bonding over the exhausting realities of newborn life while hiding their own dark secrets. Marnie is paralyzed by postpartum anxiety, teen mom Peyton longs for her old life, Fleur hides bruises beneath her perfect clothes, and single mother Amalia is desperate to protect her family.

When a local resident is found murdered, their fragile connections are tested as each woman realizes she has a motive to kill. As suspicion grows, they must figure out who the real threat is before their secrets destroy them.
