In every fairytale the stepmother is the monster.

The children hate her. They look at Diana like she's the monster who invaded their home.

Their mother is dead. Their father has moved on. And Diana, broken and starting over, said yes anyway.

Now as the new wife, Diana wakes some mornings with hours she can't account for. She finds herself saying things she doesn't remember. Her husband holds her close and tells her not to worry.

But she is noticing things. Patterns. Locked doors. A family full of secrets and a mother's death that everyone accepted too easily.

They don't know she's paying attention.

In this house, the story everyone believes is a lie. And the wicked stepmother might be the only one who can save them.

Diana knows this story. She's seen how it ends for women who ask the wrong questions.

The last woman who asked is dead.

But this isn't that story.

They're wrong about who the monster is.
