Plot:
Rose McKenna volunteers as a lunch mom in her daughter Melly’s
school in order to keep an eye on Amanda, a mean girl who’s been
bullying her daughter. Her fears come true when the bullying
begins, sending Melly to the bathroom in tears. Just as Rose is about
to follow after her daughter, a massive explosion goes off in the
kitchen, sending the room into chaos.
Rose finds herself faced with the horrifying decision of whether or not
to run to the bathroom to rescue her daughter or usher Amanda to
safety. She believes she has accomplished both, only to discover
that Amanda, for an unknown reason, ran back into the school once out
of Rose's sight.
In an instance, Rose goes from hero to villain as the small community
blames Amanda’s injuries on her. In the days that follow,
Rose's life starts to fall to pieces, Amanda’s mother decides to
sue, her marriage is put to the test, and worse, when her daughter
returns to school, the bullying only intensifies. Rose must take
matters into her own hands and get down to the truth of what really
happened that fateful day in order to save herself, her marriage and
her family.
