But beneath the diamonds and champagne, the air was thick with the weight of a shared past-and the mysterious disappearance of their mutual mentor, Vivienne, exactly one year ago.When a sudden blackout plunges the venue into pitch darkness, panic strikes. Simultaneously, ten phone screens illuminate the dark. A single anonymous message reads: "The truth about that night is in this room. Play your part, or lose them forever."Forced into an uneasy alliance, five contrasting couples must navigate a lethal maze of blackmail, corporate corruption, and deep-seated paranoia. To survive the game of a ruthless mastermind, they will have to unearth the truth about Vivienne-and confront the dangerous, forbidden passions blooming in the shadows of their secrets.
