Tessa, a talented muralist, is feeling flat. Her kids are growing up and she’s feeling upstaged by her husband’s new found celebrity as the host of a home-restoration reality TV show. But everything turns on it’s head when she gets a surprise from her past.

Natasha leads a glamorous jet-setting life as one of American Vogue’s favourite make-up artists. Single and childless, she’s focused on her career but when the lie she’s concealed for years threatens to come to light, the truth will make her question everything.

And everything lurking beneath the surface of this seemingly happy family is about to come bursting out……..
