Description
When the Pollard family rushes to the hospital for an emergency C-section, they expect chaos—but not catastrophe. Within twenty-four hours they’re sent home exhausted, relieved, and clinging to their newborn son. That is, until everything shatters.
An accident takes place, at an intersection, killing the infant in the backseat. As the Pollards reel in grief, the hospital reveals the truth: the baby who died wasn’t theirs. Their biological child—delivered in a frantic blur during a system-wide maternity crisis—is still alive. Somewhere between surgery, overcrowded halls, and a rushed discharge, a devastating swap occurred. Two families are now entangled in a nightmare neither asked for.
For Charlie Pollard, sixteen, the crash becomes a loop he can’t escape. His memories are questioned by police, twisted by witnesses, and weaponized online as news of the mix-up leaks to the media. Branded a “baby killer,” his world shrinks to whispered accusations, vandalism on the family car, and a fear he can’t name. Every inconsistency in his testimony becomes a threat, every hesitation another crack for investigators to pry open.
Who is responsible for the life that was lost—and how far will each family go to keep the truth from tearing them apart?
Baby on Board is a tense, emotionally charged domestic thriller about trauma, memory, and the thin line between justice and blame. Through multiple perspectives and intertwining timelines, it explores what happens when ordinary people are pushed to unimaginable extremes—and how one moment can reshape a family forever.
