Penny Francone, a sixteen-year-old girl, stands accused of a heinous crime: the murder of someone close to her. The evidence against her is overwhelming, with her being found alone in the victim's apartment, covered in blood, holding the murder weapon. The victim's identity and their secret relationship with Penny provide her with the perfect motive, sealing the deal. All that remains for the jury to decide is where Penny will serve out her sentence. Will she be acquitted by reason of insanity, as her lawyer intends to argue? Or will she receive a life sentence in a maximum-security prison? For her mother, Grace, either fate holds the potential to shatter their world completely.

While Penny awaits her trial in a state mental hospital, she is under the care of Dr. Mitchell McHugh, a psychiatrist grappling with his own demons. Grace's unwavering determination to unravel the motive behind her daughter's terrible crime fuels Mitch's resolve to assist the Francone family. Together, they embark on a quest for the truth, but what they uncover is a shocking hidden history of secrets, lies, and betrayals that poses a threat to everyone involved. The perfect daughter, or is she deceiving them all?
