In trying to find the best situation for the children, Lillian slowly uncovers patterns in the father's behaviour that appear to point to a sinister past.

At the same time, Lillian realizes she's ready to find love again. At her best friend's nudging, she delves into online dating, trying to fill the void her husband Chuck left behind. Soon after, Lillian finds herself the target of escalating harassment. Is it related to her present or past child welfare cases or perhaps a spurned suitor? In Children at Risk, we're drawn into Lillian's complex and increasingly mysterious world, where nothing is at first as it seems.
