74: A PTA Mom's Guide To Chaos

Send us a text

We dive into the twisted world of Jill and Kent Easter, a seemingly perfect couple with a dark secret. Jill, a highly educated lawyer and romance novelist, has a reputation for being a driven, perfectionist mother and wife. But beneath the polished exterior, she's a woman willing to go to any lengths to get what she wants. Kent, a successful lawyer and partner at a prestigious law firm, stands by his wife, but his loyalty is tested when Jill's obsessive need for control escalates.

When Jill feels slighted by a school volunteer, Kelli Peters, she spirals into a vengeful campaign to destroy Kelli's reputation. With Kent's reluctant support, they use their legal knowledge and influence to frame Kelly for a crime she didn’t commit, even going so far as to stage evidence and file false reports. 

What starts as a petty grudge turns into a high-stakes game of manipulation, revenge, and deception, where the stakes are not only Kelli's  future but the Easters' own sanity and marriage. Will they succeed in their dangerous plot, or will the truth catch up with them?
