In The Smoke Lies

When Xavier Blythe throws the biggest party of the year, no one expects it to end in bloodshed. But as dawn breaks, a murder shatters the glittering façade, leaving scandal and suspicion in its wake. At the center of it all is Quinn Blackwell, a sharp-witted, enigmatic figure with secrets they guard fiercely. A video of their encounter with Mason-Xavier's ex-best friend and a man with his own shadowy past-emerges just as the whispers of murder begin to spread.

As Quinn becomes entangled in a web of lies, betrayal, and buried grudges, they find themselves racing to piece together what truly happened that night. In a world where every smile hides an agenda and every ally could be a traitor, Quinn must decide how much of the truth they're willing to unearth-knowing that some secrets are best left in the dark.

In this atmospheric blend of mystery and macabre, In The Smoke Lies exposes the dark underbelly of privilege and desire, where trust is fragile and survival is never guaranteed.
