Leo has been struggling with severe depression, leaving his wife Joanna to care alone for their children Evie and Stelli. When Leo suddenly recovers his old charm and energy, Joanna discovers the reason is his affair with Piper. Leo leaves Joanna to start fresh with his new love, promising Joanna can still see the children. Devastated, Joanna investigates Piper's background and uncovers troubling secrets about the woman who stole her family. When Joanna tells her therapist she fears Piper will harm Leo and the children, no one believes her concerns. Joanna races to find concrete evidence before Piper destroys what remains of the family Joanna loves.
