Lila is drowning in the chaos of motherhood while her husband sharpens every wound with cutting remarks and cruel comparisons. When she uncovers a betrayal that shatters what little remains of their marriage, she finds an unexpected strength, and delivers a birthday surprise that Dorian never sees coming.
