Best friends Annie and Sarah need cash – fast. Sarah, a beautiful, successful lawyer, wants nothing more than to have a baby. But balancing IVF treatments with a grueling eighty-hour workweek is no walk in the park.

Desperate, the two friends come up with a brilliant plan: they’ll combine Sarah’s looks and Annie’s brains to sell a “luxury” antiaging face cream to the wealthy, fading beauties in Annie’s La Jolla book club. The scheme seems innocent enough, until Annie decides to add a special – and oh-so-illegal – ingredient that could bring their whole operation crashing to the ground.

Even though I do not have kids myself, it’s very easy to imagine the lengths a mother would go to for their child. I’d do the same as…
