As Zoe tries to protect the twins from the dysfunction swirling around them, she finds an unlikely ally in Frenchie, the family’s loyal and mysterious butler. But the deeper she digs, the more twisted the truth becomes. Because on this island, the past doesn’t stay buried, and the worst threats live inside the house.
