Zoe Morgan watched her younger sister die while her parents poured everything into those final moments, then split apart when it was over. The experience carved deep wounds that drove Zoe to excel at everything. She throws herself into her studies, then into nonprofit work helping disadvantaged children. When she finds love and becomes a mother herself, Zoe believes she can create the perfect family her childhood lacked. But motherhood awakens the old trauma she thought she had buried. The same fears that destroyed her parents begin to surface in her own life. Zoe finds herself pulled toward a psychological breaking point as past and present collide. Her determination to be the perfect mother becomes a dangerous obsession that threatens everything she has built.
