Some houses shelter you. Others teach you how to disappear. In Part One: Then, Paris is a teenager navigating high school, first love, and loyalty to a family that is quietly unraveling. Inside a house ruled by control and unspoken fear, she learns how to stay alert, how to endure, and how to look steady even when nothing feels safe. What happens there will change her forever.
