  Just graduated from high school and waiting to start college at Oxford, Lily lives under the scrutiny of her volatile Singaporean mother, May, and is unable to find kinship with her elusive British father, Charlie. When May suspects that Charlie is having an affair, there's only one thing that calms May down: a glass of perfectly spoiled orange juice served by Lily, who must always taste it first to make sure it's just right. 
   
   
   
  As her mother becomes increasingly unhinged, Lily starts to have flashbacks that she knows aren't her own. Over a sweltering London summer, all semblance of civility and propriety is lost, as Lily begins to unravel the harrowing history that has always cast a shadow on her mother. The horrifying secrets she uncovers will shake her family to its core, culminating in a shattering revelation that will finally set Lily free. 
   
   
   
  Beautiful and shocking, Bad Fruit is as compulsive as it is thought-provoking, as nuanced as it is explosive. A masterful exploration of mothers and daughters, inherited trauma and the race to break its devastating cycle, Bad Fruit will leave listeners breathlessly questioning their own notions of femininity, race, and redemption.

  Description：
  When Ethan randomly wins a lottery for a murder mystery game called "Memorial Academy," he reunites with his four old friends for what seems like innocent entertainment. But as the mystery unfolds, the scenario begins to mirror a real tragedy from thirteen years ago—the death of a girl named Jade White, whom everyone had dismissed as suicide.
  
  Trapped in a sealed room with rising chlorine gas, the friends are forced to confront buried secrets and unspoken guilt. Each revelation strips away layers of deception, exposing how Jade was systematically destroyed by jealousy, cruelty, and abuse—and how one person harbored the darkest revenge.
  
  This is not merely a game. It's a carefully orchestrated judgment, where justice doesn't follow the law—it follows the heart of a man who loved and lost everything.

  As an undercover operative for the Office of Strategic Services during World War II, Evelyn Bishop routinely embarked on deadly missions. By contrast, civilian life should be simple. Yet Evelyn, now back in Los Angeles, struggles with the responsibility of being the new president of Bishop Aeronautics, when people see her as nothing more than a beautiful socialite.

But the mission that first brought them together is not entirely over. Evelyn receives a call from her former commanding officer, who is overseeing the Berlin Airlift. He is concerned that the Soviets are trying to recruit Kurt Vogel, a scientist Evelyn and Nick smuggled out of Nazi Germany. After six long years, there's word his wife and daughter may have survived the war. Is this a chance for a long-promised reunion, or a Russian ploy to lure Vogel to their side? 
   
   
   
  Past and present collide again when a routine case offers Nick a reunion with a childhood friend who runs a high-class "gentleman's club." The clientele includes everyone from Hollywood royalty to mobsters—to a hidden enemy who will draw both Evelyn and Nick into a web as twisted and treacherous as any they have ever faced . . .
