THE WIFE: We were the perfect couple. Or so I thought. When a woman claiming to be his mistress shows up on my doorstep with a child she says is his, I know she must be lying. Who is she and what does she want?

THE MISTRESS: I don’t want to tell his widow the truth about the man she married. But if I don’t get what I need, everything will have to come out. And sometimes it is better to leave the past behind.

Our first mistake was trusting him. Our second was underestimating each other. For we are both hiding our own dark secrets…

One affair.

One dead body.

When the two women meet, a deadly game of cat-and-mouse begins. With both set on revenge, only one can make it out alive…
