Rose Wilks and Emma Hatcher.

New mothers together.

But Rose's baby is in intensive care, and when Emma's son is killed, Rose is the only suspect.

Probation officer Cate Austin's new case is Rose Wilks, convicted of manslaughter and due for parole after five years in prison. Cate needs to know that Rose feels remorse for her crime. But as she hears more about her story, Cate's doubt begins to grow. And, she wonders, where is the line between love and obsession? How can there ever be justice when a child dies?
