Struggling college graduate Blythe Carson's prayer for the perfect summer job is answered when she chances on the opportunity to au pair for the Vance family at their Palm Springs estate. The young mother, Alyssa, is pregnant with her second child, and the father, Richard, is one of Blythe's favorite authors. While Alyssa is at work and Richard is in his study, adapting his latest horror bestseller into a screenplay, Blythe cares for six-year-old son Sterling, their sweet, silent son who makes her job easy. The fact that she's constantly running into Richard and is able to inspire his work is just an added bonus.
But everyone in that sleek, spacious house is hiding something from the other inhabitants, even wide-eyed, watchful Sterling. Blythe won't explain the sudden bouts of paranoia and insomnia that plague her. Richard tiptoes around the subject of the traumatic incident the family endured that spurred him to write a twisted thriller after years of crowd-pleasing romances. And as the illicit attraction between Blythe and Richard strengthens, so does Alyssa's jealousy and protectiveness over her unborn daughter.
As the desert summer scorches by, it becomes clear that when their secrets are revealed, Blythe and the Vances are headed towards a conclusion darker and more shocking than any of Richard's fictions.
