Olivia catches her boyfriend with someone else and walks out with nothing but the clothes she is wearing. His father, Dominic, is the one who finds her on the street, and he does not offer comfort. He offers a deal. Stay close to him, let the son watch, and every secret the family buried comes loose.
Olivia says yes because she wants the boyfriend to hurt. What she does not plan for is Dominic: older, controlled, and used to getting exactly what he asks for. The game has rules she did not write, and the deeper she goes, the less she can tell whether she is using him or he is using her. The son is still circling, and he knows things about his father that Olivia does not.
