Susan types a casual message about her neighbor, meant for her sister's eyes only. Her finger slips. The gossip lands in the neighborhood WhatsApp group instead. What starts as an embarrassing mistake snowballs into something far worse. Rumors fly. Tensions explode. The community turns toxic. Then a woman dies. Susan hears the news report and freezes. The victim lived at Susan's exact address, but in a different part of town. The killer struck the wrong target. Susan realizes the murderer meant to find her. Someone in her neighborhood wanted her dead, not the stranger who paid the price for Susan's careless message. Now Susan must figure out which of her neighbors became a killer. She needs to discover who wanted her gone badly enough to commit murder. The wrong victim is already dead. Susan knows she could be next.
