Breanna's new boyfriend, Ty, took care of everything for their romantic getaway weekend in New York City, but when she comes downstairs on the final morning of their trip, there's a stranger lying dead in the foyer and Ty is nowhere to be found. A Black woman alone in a new city, Bree is stranded and out of her depth - especially when it becomes clear that the dead woman is none other than Janelle Beckett, a missing white woman the entire internet has become obsessed with. There's only one person Bree can ask for help to figure out what happened that night: her ex-best friend, a lawyer with whom she shares a very complicated past.
