NINE

Constance French is a single mother, struggling with the toll motherhood has taken on her love life, almost giving up on the idea of men and love entirely - and then she meets social worker William Patricks.

Fearing that a man would never commit to a woman with the long-term encumbrance of a child, Constance desperately strives to conceal her status as a mother. So, she lies, pathologically pretending that her daughter is merely a child she babysits. In doing so, she unknowingly dooms her chances of love from the very beginning - a house will never be a home without stable foundations, so everyone says.

Everything seems picture perfect as her feelings towards William intensify. That's until she incrementally uncovers more and more unnerving secrets about the man she has allowed into her home. She soon realises that she is not the only one that has been leading a life of a deception..
