Florence Grimes, a thirty-one-year-old party girl and former failed musician, finds her life upended when her son Dylan becomes the prime suspect in the disappearance of Alfie Risby, a wealthy classmate and known bully. With no investigative skills and a reputation for taking the easy way out, Florence must navigate a web of suspicion and hostility from the other school moms to uncover the truth. As she delves deeper, she begins to question her son's innocence and her own ability to protect him. Hilarious and furious, this propulsive narrative explores the complexities of motherhood, class, and the lengths one will go to for their child.
