Isla Thorne has spent ten years haunted by the night her best friend, Eden, vanished on a road trip that should’ve ended in Los Angeles. When a new trail points to the Corrigans—an untouchable, image-perfect family living behind gates in Charlottesville—Isla does the unthinkable: she manufactures a chance encounter with their teenage daughter and worms her way inside the estate.
What she finds isn’t just wealth. It’s a machine built to erase inconvenient people, rewrite narratives, and bury the truth under polished philanthropy. As Isla poses as a journalist, she uncovers a staged corporate scandal that drove an innocent man to suicide, a daughter scrubbed from public record, and a decades-old “accident” that never sat right. Every dinner conversation becomes a chess match. Every hallway hides a secret. And the deeper Isla digs, the more dangerous it becomes to keep breathing.
Open the full summary to see which Corrigan finally cracks—and what was really hidden behind those four walls.
