  STREAMING SOON ON PARAMOUNT+ AS "THE REVENGE CLUB"!  
   
  Six divorcees seek revenge on their deceitful spouses, but someone starts taking it much too far... 
  Emily had the perfect life - the perfect job, the perfect house, the perfect husband - before she was blindsided and betrayed and lost it all. Now she's sitting in a divorce counselling group wondering how she'll ever feel okay again. What she wants is her old life back, and these group sessions seem to be the only way she'll be able to move on - past the jealousy, the hurt, and the daydreams of getting revenge. 
   
  And it seems everyone in the group is in the same boat: jilted by an ex-partner and struggling to cope. So over post-therapy drinks, the six divorcées come up with the brilliant idea to get a little payback of their own - Strangers-on-a-Train style, with each getting even on another's behalf. Nothing serious - just enough to disrupt their former partner's picture-perfect lives. 
   
  Emily is hesitant at first, but the more her old life spins away from her, the less she worries about her morals - plus, they agreed no one would get hurt. 
   
  But just when the group think they've pulled off the perfect petty crimes, one of the exes is found dead... and then another... and another... 
   
  With DI Rosa Hawkes on their case and the plan spiralling out of control, Emily doesn't know who she can trust, and if divorce taught her anything, it's that you can't trust anyone, even the people you love. Especially the people you love. Let alone perfect strangers like these.

  In the vein of John MacDonald's Cape Fear, Ahlborn takes the classic stalker tale and updates it for the modern era. 
   
   
   
  The house sits stoic and slightly askew off the coast of Raven's Head. Its off-kilter windows are both charming and disorienting, its walls of overstuffed bookshelves both comforting and claustrophobic. When Leo and Lark Parrish arrive at their vacation home with their parents, their mother's idea of a quintessential Maine getaway seems like both a blessing and a curse. Lark—a novice novelist—can't wait to find inspiration at the end of a fog-entombed pier. And while being trapped in a house with no means of escape is the last thing Leo would consider a good time—especially with parents on the precipice of divorce—he can't help but wonder if maybe the change of scenery will help him shake off the chains of sadness brought on by the death of his closest friend. 
   
   
   
  But what starts off as a relatively benign family trip quickly turns menacing. Leo finds himself face-to-face with what feels like his best friend reaching out from beyond the grave, and only hours after they arrive, Lark begins to receive sinister texts. And then they both see it: someone lurking in the shadows of their rental home. Someone who has been expecting them despite the Parrishes being a thousand miles from home.
