Life for Julia hasn't always been easy, but it's about to become much more difficult. Surrounded by rumors, secrets, and lies, she'll have to decide which ones she believes, and which ones she doesn't. Jaryn and Julia's strained relationship grows worse each day, and she knows it won't be long before Jaryn kicks her out... so why does she stay?

Meanwhile, DCI is certain that the Glitterati are up to something, and Julia knows one day she'll have to choose sides... sooner or later.
