Bess thought the nightmare was over. Ten years ago, she and her friend Joni spent a golden summer in Greece with their best friend Evangeline. When Evangeline died, the media painted Bess and Joni as manipulative killers who corrupted their innocent friend. The courts cleared them, but the public never did. Now Joni appears at Bess's door with a desperate request. She needs an alibi, and Bess is the only person who can provide it. Bess knows she still owes Joni after everything they survived together. But helping means dragging up the past they've both tried to bury. As the two women navigate their complicated history, they confront an impossible question. Society has already decided their guilt. Can they ever truly escape the roles the world has forced them to play?
