Exiled to the Gold Coast through blackmail, Solene finds herself tangled in a web of desperation and compromise. Her unlikely salvation? James, a mid-level drug dealer with a penchant for existential crises. The unspoken rule is clear: never let a bad man do you a favour. But Solene, armed with her unfinished PhD in philosophy and a fractured moral compass, agrees to help James wrestle with his demons.  

Her good deed turns venomous. James forces her into consulting for his network of drug dealers and ex-cons, offering them "philosophical advice." Solene dreams of teaching them ethics, but her words are twisted into weapons of justification, feeding egos already bloated with false bravado. The irony isn't lost on her-how do you teach virtue to the vice-ridden?  

As she struggles under the weight of coercion and survival, Solene meets Nick, a man whose charm hides a darkness even deeper than James's. He's a flicker of safety in her chaos, but his past threatens to pull her even further into the abyss.  

Caught between layers of extortion, fractured loyalties, and her own crumbling sense of self, Solene must navigate a dangerous game of power and manipulation-or risk becoming the very thing she despises.
