Ten years after Sofia was killed in a tragic accident, her college ex Caroline and her former roommate Brooke almost have what they've always wanted. Caroline is on the precipice of scoring funding for her feminist tech startup. Brooke is newly engaged and is starting her dream job at a prestigious prep school. But one dark night's secrets could unravel everything.
When Caroline starts getting threatening comments on her company's Instagram and Brooke receives a sinister email with ominous photos attached, all from "Sofia," their tangled web of lies and ugly truths begins to fall apart. Someone is determined to avenge Sofia's death and destroy their lives. And when the women's only other link to Sofia turns up dead, Brooke and Caroline each must decide how far they'll go to outrun their past.
It soon becomes clear that what they thought was safely hidden won't stay buried. Someone is playing a dangerous game.
