For all her life, Rose Gold Watts was a prisoner to her own body—or so she believed. Raised by her mother Patty Watts, a woman with sinister secrets, Rose Gold grew up thinking she was gravely ill. It took eighteen painful years and an unwarranted wheelchair for the truth to unravel: Patty was a master at deception. Now, after five years in prison for her crimes, Patty seeks refuge with the daughter she betrayed. As Rose Gold hesitantly grants her mother a chance at forgiveness, the lines between victim and perpetrator blur. But this peculiar reunion is anything but a happy one, and both women harbor unsettling plans, waiting for the right moment to execute them.
