Sophie Whitehouse has a lovely home, two adorable children, and a handsome, successful husband. In other words, she has the â€œperfectâ€ life. But everything changes the night her husband James comes home and confesses an indiscretion. Suddenly, her neat, ordered world is turned upside down. Did she ever really know the man she married?

Jamesâ€™s revelation, as it turns out, is just the tip of the iceberg: a larger scandal is about to explode. James stands accused of a terrible crime, and their family is shoved into the spotlight as his trial begins. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, another woman is working to destroy Sophieâ€™s husband. Sophie remains convinced of Jamesâ€™s innocence and is desperate to protect her precious family from the rumors that threaten to rip them apart. Sheâ€™s kept his darkest secret ever since their university days. And if she stood by him then, she can do it now. But, the truth is even more shocking than anyone ever could have thought. Is James the guilty perpetrator or an innocent victim of a toxic agenda?

In this riveting story of power, revenge, and deception, no oneâ€™s motives are pure, but some peopleâ€™s secrets are much darker than others.
