Eleven members of the Mayweather clan embarked on a vacation, hoping to reconnect and create lasting memories. However, fate had other plans. Ten members returned home, leaving behind a fractured family that had been separated for years.

As the week progresses, it becomes evident that everyone has something to hide, and the tensions rise.

By the end of the week, one member of the reunion party will be dead, and every single person present becomes a suspect.

The characters in this novel are complex and multi-dimensional, each with their own motivations and secrets. Addison, the peacekeeper, desperately seeks a better hiding place to protect herself from the unfolding drama. Theo, the outsider, desperately wants to mend fences with his family but is hindered by his past actions. Natalia, the romantic, refuses to talk about her past, which holds the key to unlocking the mysteries surrounding the murder. Mason, the hothead, struggles to keep his temper under control, which could be the deciding factor in determining who is responsible for the crime.
