The Collective

Camille Gardener is a grieving mother having lost her fifteen-year-old daughter, Emily. Even after five years, she still cannot seem to move on as her now ex-husband, old friends, and latest therapist had recommended. But how can she move on, when justice never prevailed? When she finds an online community of mothers in similar situations, she begins to find hope. Will the help provided from these women finally give her the answers she so desperately seeks?
