A Parent’s Worst Nightmare

Miles Lambert, a man Pete has never met, delivers a devastating truth: Pete’s two-year-old son, Theo, isn’t actually his.

But when a lawsuit against the hospital triggers an official investigation, buried secrets begin to surface, forcing Pete and Maddie to question everything:

• How much can they really trust the Lamberts?
• What is hiding behind their seemingly perfect façade?
• And when pushed to the breaking point, what will each parent do to protect the child they love?
