From the back cover

After giving birth, Nora is consumed by postpartum depression, and her husband Sean Hayes, an ace detective, tries to hold the family together — chasing criminals by day, feeding the baby at night, and taking her to doctors. But his patience frays into cruelty, and when his young apprentice Willow steps in to care for the child, she seems to fit into the family more naturally than Nora ever could.

Alone and believing herself a burden, Nora finds a hidden bottle in the locked cabinet and swallows what she thinks is poison, while Sean tells a neighbour her illness was all a lie. Yet the pills he finds are only sleeping pills, and Willow's role in the swap remains unclear.

As Sean rushes to Willow's side, Nora lingers unseen, hoping only that the people she loves will be cared for.
