Three fierce women connected to a billionaire film mogul collide at a Hollywood party in this richly observed novel about female ambition, complicity, and privilege.

It's the Hollywood event of the season, and anyone who's anyone will be enjoying their evening at socialite Holly Stabler's gorgeous hilltop estate. For personal assistant Zanne Klein, the gala is her chance at a promotion she's chased for far too long, which means she'll finally be able to buy a house, pay off her loans, and give her girlfriend the life she deserves.

But just when the perfect party seems to be in reach, Phoebe Lee, a talented director who mysteriously disappeared decades before, shows up uninvited--with a dark secret. As the event unfolds and truths are exposed, Zanne, Holly, and Phoebe are set on a collision course that promises to make the night one Hollywood will never forget...
