With mystery, suspense and heat, The Housewife is a story of betrayal, redemption and second chances.
After the unsolved death of her husband, Megan Burke gets a second chance to live out her dream: To be married and raise a family. Now, with two kids, driving an expensive SUV, living in a comfortable home in the suburbs with her new husband Matt, Megan is content with life.
However, the sudden reappearance of Ryan Hanson, an old friend of Megan's, ignites emotions and desires she had thought had been completely smothered out by the day to day responsibilities of raising a family. With the reemergence of these feelings, Megan is left questioning how content she really is with her marriage.
Her doubts take a back seat when mysterious phone calls begin threatening her five year old son, Jimmy. When heart wrenching tragedy strikes, it only drives Megan further into the arms of another man.
But catastrophe occurs on the heels of tragedy, turning Megan's world upside down. There is no one to turn to or trust, except for her increasingly shady husband, Matt.
