Plotline: On her way to her son's football match, Beth has pulled up outside of the house of her friend, Flora, who she's been estranged from for 12 years. Unexpectedly, Flora pulls up and gets out of her car with her two children - only, her children don't seem to have aged since Beth saw them 12 years ago.

Throughly enjoyed this tense thriller! The plotline was quite complicated, but one that was explained well overall. The complicit actions of the periphery characters could've been explained more clearly, but the core storyline was interesting to follow!
