The perfect wife. Or the perfect liar?

Samara Harte is helping a group of mothers plan a charity fundraiser. But there's a strange atmosphere during the meeting and afterwards, she finds a phone that's been left behind. It's unlocked and there's a message on the screen:

My name is Mrs Jones. My husband is trying to kill me. Please don't let him hurt me.

Samara messages back, keen to learn which of the wives is in danger. The woman calling herself Mrs Jones tells Samara about her idyllic life, her perfect family, and how hard she works to please her husband - cooking cleaning, looking after the house. So why is he trying to kill her? Or is everything Mrs Jones says a lie?
