Rotten Apples

Eleven years ago, the Meotti family experienced the most traumatic event ever imaginable: The murder of the head to their family, the glue and the backbone that kept everyone together. Even though time has passed, moving on from what has happened to their family is something that still eats away at Leila Meotti and her three girls.

Her oldest daughter, Aleemah, is hell bent on creating her own way for herself. She makes it clear that she does not trust her own mother, or anyone else for that matter, to lead her. Leila worries about the choices that her daughter is making because just like any mother, she only has her daughter’s best interests at heart… Or does she just want to control the daughter she feels threatened by?

Leila’s second daughter, Anastasia, is keeping a big secret from her mother. She’s been keeping this secret for so long that when she is advised to be honest and upfront about it, she realizes that she cannot. But is she keeping secrets from her mother because she knows that her mother won’t accept her, or is the truth that Anastasia still hasn’t fully accepted herself?

Leila’s baby girl, Ari, has a rage inside of her that is screaming to be set free. Because of this, Ari is constantly getting into trouble, to the degree that everyone around her is worried for Ari’s well-being and their own safety. Ari has a dangerous streak, and when she starts to target the people closest to her with her wrath, something must be done. How far will Ari go before she realizes that there is a difference between being respected and being feared?

This family has been through a lot, and behind the luxury and expensive lifestyle, Leila Meotti has her work cut out for her with her daughters. However, she may just find that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. In this case, however, there are three of those apples. Spoiled apples. Spoiled rotten.
