Beatrice has it all (well, apart from a dishwasher ): Athena, her perfect wife; three beautiful children and enough fifties pin-up dresses to satisfy the cast of Grease. The only thorn in her side is her wife's insufferably wealthy ex, and biological father of the kids, Jack. The only things Bea and Jack have in common is their mutual adoration for the kids, and that they have both fallen completely and hopelessly under Athena's spell.One day, life is changed forever when Athena suddenly dies in a freak car accident, leaving both Bea and Jack heartbroken and unable to imagine any kind of future without her light.Matters are made even worse when Fletcher, their eldest son, becomes depressed and attempts suicide. In a bid to do what is right for the children and to support Fletcher, Jack begrudgingly invites Bea to move into his house where the two try to messily navigate and reconcile their minefield of a relationship for the sake of their kid.Can Jack ever forgive Bea for stealing Athena away? Can they ever be friends again, as they once were, or maybe even more?The Wife-Stealer is a heart-warming story about unconventional families and life after the death of a loved one.
