What it's about: A white woman named Alix Chamberlain is sent into a spiral of events after her Black babysitter, Emira Tucker, is wrongly accused of kidnapping her child when the two go shopping together. Alix, who's used to getting what she wants, hopes to right the wrongs against Emira, but it isn't smooth sailing. Things are further complicated when someone from Alix's past shows up.
