When the mask breaks, what lies beneath?

When you’re a young mother living in a small town miles away from friends and family, boredom and loneliness are part of the job description. So when Tracy receives an unexpected call from the beautiful and elegant Kate Hensley, she jumps at the chance to get out of the house and share the company of another woman. But Kate is everything Tracy isn’t, and she finds herself questioning her new companion’s motives. After a chance meeting turns their expedition sour, Tracy gets her answer, but it’s not one she’s expecting…
