A Mother's Lie
When her child's life is at stake, a mother will do anything to save him.
Clara McNair is running out of time to save her son, James. When the two-year-old is diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer, only an experimental treatment can save his life. She desperately needs money to pay for the surgery, but she'll have to travel back to the site of her darkest memories to get it.
Clara has escaped the demons of her youth - or so she thinks. It's been ten years since the mysterious disappearance of her parents. Widely suspected of murdering her mother and father, Clara fled west to start a new life. Now, a documentary film crew is offering cold, hard cash - enough to pay for James's treatment - in exchange for the sordid secrets of her past.
With no other choice but to delve into a long-ago tragedy, Clara must unravel the lies surrounding that terrible night. Facing hostile gossip, Clara is fighting to clear her name and learn the truth about what really happened. But how far will she go into the dark to save her son - and herself?
The Found Child
One mother's life will change in the blink of an eye - and there's no going back.
Elaine's worst fears become reality when her beloved son Jakob is diagnosed with cancer. She needs to find a bone marrow donor, and time is running out. But while awaiting test results to see if she's a possible match, Elaine learns a shocking truth about her son; a truth that threatens to send her back to the pills that almost destroyed her life once before; a truth that pushes her already fragile mental state to the breaking point.
Even as the family faces this new crisis, a ghost from Elaine's past emerges to jeopardize everything she's built. But is the threat real, or is it all in her mind?
Elaine needs to stay strong for her son, but as her whole reality continues to unravel, she can't trust anyone - not even herself.
The Perfect Neighborhood
The perfect neighborhood, the perfect neighbors, the perfect trap...
New mother Holly has always dreamed of raising a family away from the city - and now that dream is a reality as she moves into an idyllic suburb with her husband Mike and their baby daughter Clare. The quiet, peaceful neighborhood couldn't be more perfect..
But as the family settles into their new home, Holly can't shrug off the feeling she's being watched and followed on her morning walks with Clare. At first, she dismisses this as new parent jitters. But soon the unusual - and dangerous - occurrences on Holly's tree-lined block become impossible to ignore.
As her days and nights grow more isolated and filled with paranoia, Holly struggles to convince her husband that the threat isn't just in her imagination - and that the secrets lurking in their perfect neighborhood could ruin them all.
