Laura is unwittingly led down an increasingly dangerous path as Emily sets about infiltrating her life and poisoning it from the inside. And she’s persuaded a journalist to help her take Laura down too. But why? Unbeknownst to Laura, these two women are bound by a shared secret, one Laura has tried to keep buried. But nothing stays a secret forever and Emily is here to make sure this one is exposed, no matter the price."
