The Alarcons- an generational rich family with a high esteemed reputation and a penchant for the extravagant. Headed by the wealthy family heir Leonardo Alarcon, they are considered to be one of the classic pinnacles of new money high society and the ruling elite. Although rich and wildly ostentatious, the Alarcons are just like the other social classes- they have their fair share of family secrets and drama meant to be kept hidden forever from public eye.
That is, until Leonardo Alarcon was found murdered during the night of a large family dinner at the sprawling Alarcon estate. With a dozen possible suspects in the family to interrogate, a murderer on the loose, and precious time on the line, just how far can the walls take before they crack and reveal the truth?
Because after all- not all the walls hide everything.
