It started with a lie...

Life for single mother Kristen Scott has never been easy.

Brought up by a crazy mother and left to take care of her younger sister, all she ever wanted was a normal family home.

But a messy divorce leads to her struggling to make ends meet. When her co-worker suggests taking in a foreign student, the money seems too good to turn down. What she isn't expecting is a twenty-something Swede to turn up, and slot right into her and her son's life.

Things quickly start to go wrong. Her ex-husband isn't happy with the new setup. Her sister has issues. Her son is being bullied...

And strange things are happening at home.

With unanswered questions, Kristen starts to wonder about the people she's let into her life...

Someone is lying, but who?
