A modern-day reimagining of Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, and Aurora

Four college roommates turned lifelong friends whose perfect lives aren't what they seem.

Bellamy appears to have everything—a beautiful home, a successful husband, the picture of suburban grace. But behind closed doors, her marriage is unraveling under the weight of control, manipulation, and fear. Ella, a freelance writer and new mom, is quietly drowning in debt and the demands of motherhood. When her father dies and her inheritance is frozen by her conniving stepmother and stepsister, she’s forced into a legal battle that could destroy her marriage. Then there’s Rory, who feels trapped in her parents’ family business, the dutiful daughter who never learned how to say no. A new love interest promises to open up her world, but sweet Rory’s naïveté prevents her from seeing the bombshell discovery approaching. And Jaz? She’s bold, witty, and fiercely independent, but secretly falling for her female film director, terrified her conservative family will find out.

When the women reunite to celebrate Bellamy’s thirty-second birthday, tensions, secrets, and lies ignite—and by the end of the night, someone will be dead.
