Some things have a seductive shine. Fame. Happy families. Murder... and the veneer becomes cellophane.
There's simply no protection from oneself.
A saga about the McAllister family. Case and Laine McAllister, the fairy tale. They appear to be the perfect family. And, almost nauseatingly, they are.
Carla Sanseri‘s marriage has reached its sell-by date. One sunny spring morning, Case 'rescues' Carla when she breaks down along the side of the road. Bonnie Tyler sang about it first. For Carla, it is love at first sight. Carla discovers she can "set asunder" with the worst of them.
Case’s best friend is Jude Daniels, married to the reserved and stylish Ashley. They have all the trappings... Case turns to his friend for help and accidentally stumbles upon Jude's secret life.
Next door to the McAllisters live Krissie and Rudolf Rokovljavic. A wife in servitude. Waiting for freedom can be murder. Things are disintegrating fast, insanity is finding a home behind trusted eyes, and no one's noticing. Tragedies always happen to ‘other people.’ The myth.
The warning signs are always ignored.
The truth.
(And no, you don't guess correctly what's going to happen. No one has, yet.)
