It's devastating to hear that your husband has died in a horrific car accident. But to learn that he died with a mystery woman as his passenger is torment. Was Greg having an affair?

But in the process, those around her begin to question her sanity ... and motive. And the louder she shouts that Greg might have been murdered, the more suspicion falls on Ellie herself.
