From the back cover

Vincent hires Lillian Moore, supposedly the city's best live-in nanny, at three times the usual rate so his wife Estelle Parks can rest after giving birth to their daughter, Belle Parks. Instead, Lillian never cooks or cleans, and the chores fall on Vincent after his overtime shifts. Estelle shrugs it off, insisting Lillian is wonderful with the baby.

One morning, after Estelle leaves for a postpartum session, Vincent returns home to find Belle screaming and Lillian feeding her from a bottle beside an open medicine bottle and crushed powder. He accuses Lillian of drugging his month-old daughter, but she flushes the evidence and demands proof. Estelle refuses to believe him, and her phone goes dead.

With no cameras and no proof, Vincent must choose between the meeting that could cost him his job and leaving Belle alone with Lillian.
