In this gripping tale of deception, a young private investigator embarks on a mission to unravel the enigmatic murders of a Los Angeles heiress's parents. Four years ago, a stunning young heiress miraculously survived an attack that claimed the lives of both her parents. The crime, characterized by its vicious nature and seemingly random occurrence, made headlines across Los Angeles, as it left no stolen items and no apparent enemies for the van Aust family. Melia van Aust, the surviving heiress, fled the city shortly after the murders, which remained unsolved. However, her brother Jasper has been missing since then.

Rainey Hall, a private investigator with a personal connection to dysfunctional families, understands the complexities of such relationships. Driven by a desire to help victims of crimes that might otherwise go unnoticed, she founded her own private investigation agency. When Melia returns to Los Angeles and moves back into her family home, she begins receiving increasingly threatening messages that allude to the murders of her parents. Seeking assistance, she hires Rainey to track down the culprit and locate her missing brother.

As Rainey delves deeper into Melia's life, she discovers a web of secrets and lies that intertwine with her own past. The investigation takes her into the seedy underbelly of the city, where she encounters disgraced royals, shady neighbors, violent ex-boyfriends, and former staff members, each holding their own set of secrets. As the threats against Melia escalate, and the two women become closer, it becomes evident that another victim is in danger.

In this heart-stopping thriller, Rainey must navigate through a maze of deception and danger to protect Melia and bring the perpetrator to justice. With each step, the stakes rise, and Rainey finds herself in a race against time to unravel the mysteries that have haunted Melia's life for years. As the truth unfolds, Rainey realizes that she may have underestimated the depth of the danger she is facing, and that her own life may be in jeopardy.
