Twenty-eight year old journalist Cassidy Johnson has been stuck at her minimum wage desk job writing food reviews for nearly seven years. When she realizes something is off about a restaurant as she interviews its owners, she begins to investigate them without her bosses permission. At the same time, she finds herself inexorably drawn to Andrey, her brother's childhood best friend who works for her company's rival company and constantly throws his career success in her face. As Cassidy's desire to outcompete Andrey and unravel the mysteries around her deepens, she is drawn into a world of intrigue, grizzly crime, and the paranormal, a world Andrey may know more about than Cassidy ever thought. In this world, no one is innocent: not Andrey, not even Cassidy.
