Or so they say.As she digs into the details of that night, Agnes finds that the sparkling veneer of wealth and success hides plenty of blemishes...and the cracks below may be deep enough to swallow her whole.

But with old friends come old wounds, and it soon becomes clear that Mia's accident might not have been an accident at all. Was it Agnes, driven by her unspoken resentments? Or Zoey, who covets everything Mia has? Have the years apart only fanned the extinguished flame between Ethan and Mia, compelling him to violence? Or did Victor, who moved away, return with an agenda? Or was it Martin, the wealthy husband, who put a country estate between Mia and her past? As old tensions and new suspicions rise, these friends must wade through their film knowledge, shared history, and everything that's kept them apart in order to figure out which one of them is trying to end things once and for all."--
