When Secrets Sting: A Family's Unraveling
"Mad Honey" pulls us into the quiet town of Adams, New Hampshire, where Olivia Fields has rebuilt her life as a beekeeper after escaping an abusive marriage. The parallel between beekeeping and human relationships emerges immediately-both require patience, understanding natural patterns, and accepting that some things remain beyond control. When Olivia finds a bear has destroyed one of her hives, she desperately tries to save the remaining bees by finding the queen and placing her in a new hive. This foreshadows the coming destruction in her human life, where her son Asher's girlfriend Lily will soon be found dead at the bottom of her stairs. Like the threatened bee colony, the family's carefully constructed new life may not survive the winter ahead. Olivia's relationship with her teenage son Asher carries the weight of their shared past. Having fled in the night from Braden, Asher's abusive father, they've spent years carefully constructing a safe haven. Their bond is close but evolving as Asher grows into young adulthood, becoming the hockey team captain and falling for the new girl in town. When Lily is found dead and Asher becomes the prime suspect, Olivia's protective instincts surge forward. Haven't they suffered enough? The desperation in her voice when she calls her brother Jordan, a defense attorney, reveals everything: "You told me to call you the next time I need help. I need help." Her voice breaks on the last word, carrying the weight of a mother's worst fear.
