Treating a woman for postnatal depression, therapist Mel Porter discovers a shocking truth about herself. As she battles to separate truth from lies, she must confront the most dreadful choice a wife can ever make. Believe that her husband is a killer. Or that she is. 

The woman claims to have murdered her own child. The confession turns out to be false, but it starts a chain of events that leads to horrifying consequences for Mel. As each brick in the wall she has built around herself crumbles and falls away, a stark truth is revealed. Is she even the woman she thinks she is? 

When an ambitious detective with secrets of her own arrests Mel on a charge of murder, her world descends into chaos. Memories she thought she could trust turn out to be unreliable. Her very sanity is questioned. And Jonathan asks for a divorce. 

In court, facing a hostile lawyer’s harrowing questioning, Mel’s faith in herself reaches a breaking point. Then the jury returns with its verdict and delivers a shocking conclusion to the trial. 

How much of her perfect life can Mel still believe in? And how much is total fantasy? The answer could be the difference between life and death.
