Description:
Josh Goldin was savoring a Friday afternoon break in the coffee room when Josh's secretary rushed in, using words like intensive care, blood... That morning, Dori had walked into the emergency room with her son in severe distress. Enter Dr. Darlene Stoke. But something about Dori stirred the doctor's suspicions. Darlene had heard of the sensational diagnosis of Munchausen by Proxy, where a mother intentionally harms her baby, but had never come upon a case of it before. It was rarely diagnosed and extraordinarily controversial. Could it possibly have happened here? As their four lives intersect with dramatic consequences, Darlene, Dori, and Josh are pushed to their breaking points as they confront the nightmare that has become their new reality.
