The story starts with a mother (Lois Nettleton) with her baby. Apparently the family is rich, as they also have a nanny and a butler. Oddly, when the phone rings, neither the nanny nor butler answer it and the mother goes to answer the call...leaving the baby in a playpen by the pool. When she returns, the baby had somehow gotten out and drowned.
The death was ruled an accident. One thing no one at the inquest knew is that the mother had been drinking. She was NOT drunk....but apparently was in recovery and had promised her husband never to drink again. So, the mother is thankful no one was the wiser. Soon, however, a woman arrives and begins blackmailing the mother...and she somehow knew the mom had been drinking.
While this setup is very good (as well as very sad), the show never seemed realistic in how the mother dealt with the blackmailers. It also made little sense what happened next. It seemed beyond belief...and rather cruel to watch. I did not enjoy this one....and I agree with HEFILM...it's one you might want to skip.
