Non esistono braccia più sicure delle proprie per proteggere i figli. Ma non si può stare con loro tutto il tempo. A volte è necessario affidarli a qualcuno di cui ci si possa fidare ciecamente. Trovare la persona giusta non è facile: lo sanno bene Melissa e suo marito che cercano una babysitter per le loro due meravigliose bambine. Nessuna sembra all'altezza. Nessuna è abbastanza in gamba, dolce e rassicurante. Fino a quando non incontrano Jade, che è semplicemente perfetta. Le loro figlie la adorano, vogliono sempre stare con lei, e Jade le ama come se fossero sue. Melissa non potrebbe essere più felice di così e le affida la gestione della famiglia, tornando a occuparsi del lavoro. Ma all'improvviso in casa cominciano a succedere cose strane: le bambine non sembrano più così al sicuro e Melissa ha sensazioni che non riesce a spiegarsi. Si tratta solo di piccoli dettagli, non ha alcuna prova ma sente che qualcosa non va. Decide allora di parlarne con il marito, che però non le crede: forse è solo la stanchezza per i troppi impegni, o lo spettro della depressione. Jade è l'unica che le sta vicino, l'unica che la ascolta e, giorno dopo giorno, Melissa si convince sempre di più che Jade sia stata una scelta fortunata. È davvero perfetta. Forse anche troppo. Eppure Melissa sta per scoprire che ogni perfezione nasconde una macchia, un neo, una sbavatura. Che ogni persona, anche la più gentile e altruista, ha un passato alle spalle, una cicatrice, un brutto ricordo. Che si possono proteggere le persone amate, ma non per sempre. Anche se sono i propri figli.
