Rikki Moore is the admired star of the Moore family: a high school teacher, a devoted mother, and the picture-perfect wife of pediatrician Matt Dresden. Her community—students, church committees, and neighbours—centers around her kindness and beauty. Yet beneath the surface lie decades of emotional breakdowns and obsessive behaviours that she has kept hidden, burdened only by her younger sister Stacy. When Matt mysteriously disappears, the meticulously constructed image of Rikki’s life shatters, forcing the sisters to confront suppressed secrets and the family’s fragile façade.
