Instead, youd see a beautiful young mother wholly devoted to her two children and a docile wife utterly besotted with her self-made millionaire husband, Allan. Youd see the designer clothes she wears, the luxury car she drives, the dewy-eyed au pair she employs. You wouldnt see the dark secret she carries. But when a construction crew unearths the body of a young girl near the McCulloughs vacation home on Orcas Island, Hannah has no choice but to confront her past. She wonders how much Allan knows about the victim and the apocalyptic cult she was connected to. Meanwhile, Allan cant seem to understand why his beautiful young bride, as polished and pristine as the collectible artifacts in his glass case, would threaten their fairy-tale lifestyle by digging too deep, in places she knows she shouldnt. As the police investigation into the gruesome discovery deepens, the facade of Hannahs picture-perfect marriage starts to crumble, and she soon finds herself on a dire hunt for answers. And Hannahs search takes an unexpected turn after she crosses paths with three strangers with shocking secrets of their own.
