Description

How far would you go to protect your daughter? Four mothers must identify the true threat at their daughters' school before it's too late. Carolyn, Bronnie, Elise, and Kendall are bound together by one thing--their four daughters are best friends at the highly competitive Orla Flynn Academy for the Performing Arts. Last year the foursome exploded because of brutal bullying between the girls, but they've since forgiven each other. The mothers, however, haven't been able to move on. When new threats surface and accidents begin to happen - just as a mysterious new girl enters the scene - the mothers take matters into their own hands. But they will have to risk their own secrets being exposed if they stand a chance at uncovering the truth.

Local notes

Four mothers, Carolyn, Bronnie, Kendall and Elise all have daughters who are friends at an academy for performing arts. New girl Imogen Curwood arrives and things start to happen at the school possibly putting a student in danger.

A great character study of the mothers, although a little letdown by the plot.
