Social Media Modeling and Computing

Psykologen Maria är lyckligt gift med Manne och mamma till två små barn. När hon upptäcker en knöl i bröstet drabbas hon av en fruktansvärd dödsångest. Och riskerar allt för att lindra den. Nu hotar sanningen att hinna ikapp henne. Helmi arbetar som läkare på onkologen, Karolinska Sjukhuset, och rollen som dödens budbärare står henne upp i halsen. Hon fattar ett drastiskt beslut som, enligt henne, skonar både henne själv och patienterna. Samtidigt börjar hennes noga kontrollerade liv att krackelera. Ångestfulla minnen som hon trodde sig förträngt för alltid pockar på uppmärksamhet och hennes gamla bedövningsmedel, sex, fungerar inte lika bra som tidigare. Isabelle är förskollärare och längtar intensivt efter egna barn. Hon är lyckligt kär i sin sambo Jerker men börjar bli frustrerad över att han vill skynda långsamt i relationen. Men är Isabelle själv verkligen så redo för ett liv med Jerker som hon tror? Hon förföljs av tanken på ett par mörka ögon som hon trodde var borta. För alltid. Medan en gråkall december sänker sig över Stockholm, korsas de tre kvinnornas stigar, den psykologiska spänningen skruvas upp och livsavgörande val måste fattas. Det enda rätta är en stark och trovärdig psykologisk relationsroman om moderna kvinnor mitt i livet.
