Her subject is Ashlyn Bryant, a young mother who has just been acquitted of the high-profile murder of her toddler daughter in a trial that divided the nation.

As Mercer conducts exclusive interviews with Ashlyn to write the definitive story, she quickly realizes Ashlyn is a master manipulator. Locked in a psychological battle of wits, Mercer must decipher Ashlyn's changing stories and uncover the horrific truth of what really happened to the child before Ashlyn controls the narrative forever.
