Danielle Rose Russell was born in Pequannock, New Jersey, USA, to parents Rosemary Rado and Walter Russell. When she was ten, a friend of her mother's had suggested to Rosemary that Danielle should pursue modeling. Her mother was hesitant at the idea, but sent pictures out online anyway. Not thinking anything would come out of it, Danielle received many calls from agents and managers asking for interviews. By age twelve, Danielle had booked several commercials and print jobs, but eventually fell in love with film acting, and knew it was something she wanted to pursue for the rest of her own life. At age thirteen, Danielle booked her first feature film, A Walk Among the Tombstones, opposite actors Liam Neeson and Dan Stevens. A few months later, she flew out to Hawaii to pursue a Cameron Crowe film, with co-stars Rachel McAdams, Emma Stone, and Bradley Cooper. She continues to work and wants to continue her pursuit in acting in the future.

Andrea Oliver's mother, Laura, is the perfect small-town mum. Laura lives a quiet but happy life in sleepy beachside Belle Isle. She's a pillar of the community: a speech therapist, business owner and everybody's friend. And she's never kept a secret from anyone. Or so Andrea thinks. When Andrea is caught in a random violent attack at a shopping mall, Laura intervenes and acts in a way that is unrecognisable to her daughter. It's like Laura is a completely different person - and that's because she was. Thirty years ago. Before Andrea. Before Belle Isle. Laura is hailed as a hero for her actions at the mall but 24 hours later she is in hospital, shot by an intruder, who's spent decades trying to track her down. What is Andrea's mother trying to hide? As elements of the past return and put them both in danger, Andrea is left to piece together Laura's former identity and discover the truth - for better or worse - about her mother. Is the gentle, loving woman who raised her also a violent killer?
