Despite picture-perfect appearances, the world Maggie has created is shattered after she’s found murdered in a desolate warehouse.

As her sister, Emma, attempts to uncover the truth about Maggie’s life, a deadlier side to Hollywood is revealed.

Because being beautiful can have the ugliest consequences. . .
