Andrea Oliver’s birthday doesn’t quite go as planned. After a man opens fire in a diner, it’s Andy’s mother Laura who successfully, and violently, intervenes. A clip of Laura dealing the final (professional) blow goes viral, compromising Laura’s cover and drawing some dodgy characters to the small beach town of Belle Isle. As Andy begins to frantically piece together her mother’s past, she is left with one looming question: who is this dangerous woman, her mother? A heart-pounding look at the costs of one mother’s secrets and the high price of the truth.
