April Masterson has built her life around two things: creating perfect baked goods for her YouTube channel and keeping her dark secrets buried. Her followers see only the gooey brownies and key lime squares that made her a baking sensation. They don't see what happens when the cameras stop rolling. Her son disappears from the house at night, and she has no idea where he goes. She meets the local soccer coach in cars with steamed windows for reasons she won't admit. Something lies buried in her backyard that could ruin everything she's worked for. Someone is watching April's life beyond the cheerful videos. This observer knows about her hidden activities and the dangerous choices she's made. They plan to use these secrets to destroy her carefully constructed world. April must face the gap between her public success and private failures before her past catches up with her present.
