In fact, it's been nothing but bad days since her best friend Charlotte died in a tragic accident, hit by a car while out jogging. But when Beth learns that Charlotte's toddler was left home alone that night, she begins to question why her friend would do something so uncharacteristically irresponsible. Was Charlotte's death an accident? It's time for Beth to discover what really happened. Once she's put the kids to bed, of course...
