When Sydney and Mae meet on the playground as toddlers, it seems like kismet. Even their very different mothers --- the type-A Beth Ann and the free-spirited Joni --- agree the girls are made for each other. Then a falling out draws them apart, and decades later, the loneliness still lingers for the newly pregnant Sydney. Adrift in the absence of her closest friend, Sydney has been drawn into a Multi-Level Marketing scheme. Across the city, Mae is stunned to find herself single, pregnant, and still haunted by the loss of her mercurial late mother, Joni. When Sydney and Mae find themselves back in one another’s lives, it once again seems like destiny. But the two women will soon discover that it’s not destiny that has drawn them together this time, but a devastating secret at the center of their orbits --- a truth that finally will bind them or shatter them, for good.
