The Lexingtons are the envy of the entire neighbourhood. Wealthy, tight-knit, and topped off with two cherub children, their perfection is something to aspire to for any family. They're untouchable. And Brianna gets to witness their lives behind the scenes as well, when they hire her as their babysitter.
Everything is going swimmingly, until Brianna's relatively innocent quest to find some sort of imperfection in the golden family hurls her smack-dab into the centre of a disturbing web of lies that no one will be able to get her out of. Because hidden behind the pristine white walls of their home is a toxic secret that will tear all of their lives apart — and possibly end hers.
