Their friendship has seen them through the best and worst of adolescence and their twenties, too often marked by trauma: national tragedies, the vices and flaws of their parents, and the freak accidents that took Sahar's mother and Riley's father.

Now, Sahar is climbing the corporate ladder at one of the nation's best law firms, Jenna is opening her own therapy practice, and Riley is thriving in the nonprofit sector. Each is courting a new beginning in the next decade of their lives—until one of them goes missing and is found days later, brutally murdered.

The investigation into their friend's death reveals unexpected secrets and clandestine affairs. The "fresh start" their thirties were supposed to provide feels more like a nightmarish encore to their past. Darkness and deception have already led to one of their deaths. Will the truth save them from their friend's fate—or get them killed?
