Sisters Hannah and Juliet have been best friends since childhood, but when Juliet's boyfriend Luke is killed just as Hannah marries the affluent Michael, the divide between them is suddenly too painful to bear.
While Hannah prepares for the birth of her first child, Juliet begins to neglect her job, her health, and all those who love her the most. Her sister's perfect life feels like a taunt.
But then Juliet finds herself drawn into a secret betrayal that threatens to destroy Hannah's happiness before she even has a chance to enjoy it...
