Kate begins to fill her days with children’s playgroups and lunches with other expat wives who she has met.\u00a0 Quickly, she makes friends with Julia, another expat\u00a0and her\u00a0husband, Ben who live in Luxembourg with their young children.\u00a0 After some time, Kate begins to have misgivings about Julia and Ben and is convinced they are not who they seem.\u00a0 Kate is thoroughly convinced that they know her secret and they are working to expose her.<\/p>\n
