    Summary

    When four-year-old Theo comes to stay with Buck and Tommy, Buck is drowning in anxiety, terrified that the man he loves isn't ready for the chaos of sudden fatherhood. What Buck doesn't realize is that the voice fueling his deepest insecurities isn't his own—it's Maddie's.

    Outwardly the perfect, supportive sister, Maddie is determined to keep Buck under her control, and she views Tommy as a threat that needs to be eliminated. Through a calculated web of whispers, altered truths, and dark manipulation, she begins painting a dangerous picture of Tommy to the 118—framing him as an unstable, aggressive partner who is a danger to the boy. But Maddie severely underestimates two things: Tommy's unyielding devotion to protecting Theo, and the loyalty of the friends who see right through the lies.
