Faye is 39 and single. She's terrified that she may never have the one thing she always wanted: a child of her own. Then she hears about an online co-parenting app. For men and women who want to have a baby, but don't want to do it alone. When the app matches her with smooth-talking, wealthy Louis, it feels as though the fates have aligned. But just one year later, Faye's dream has turned into a nightmare. She's on the run from Louis, with baby Jake in tow. In desperate need of a new place to live, she responds to an advert from an older lady, Rachel, who's renting out a room in her cottage in a remote Norfolk village. It's all Faye can afford - and surely she'll be safe from Louis there? But is Rachel the benevolent landlady she pretends to be? Or does she have a secret of her own?
