Alexis Thorn and Joe Esposito find a young woman crying alone in a restaurant. The woman's husband died fighting in Afghanistan. Before his deployment, the couple stored genetic material at a fertility clinic to preserve their dream of having children. Now the widow Bella discovers her eggs have vanished from the clinic under suspicious circumstances. Alexis brings this heartbreaking case to the Sisterhood, a group of women who use their resources and connections to right wrongs that the justice system cannot touch. The team uncovers a con artist systematically targeting vulnerable families through the fertility clinic. This criminal operates with obsessive focus, making the investigation dangerous and complex. The Sisterhood must track down someone who preys on the most desperate hopes of military families. Their combined skills and determination drive them to ensure Bella gets justice and the chance at motherhood her husband died believing she would have.
