MOTHER… FRIEND… POISONER?
A young mother is accused of attempting to poison her own child. Ellie is secretive and challenging — she's had a troubled life — but does that mean she's capable of murder?
Criminal defence lawyer Sarah Kellerman is tasked with proving Ellie's innocence. But Sarah's desperate pursuit of the truth will draw her — and her five-year-old son — into unimaginable danger…
