With a house full of friends, neighbors, and their beloved three adult children, the Calhouns are expecting another picture-perfect event. But a brutal murder in the middle of the celebration transforms the yearly gathering into a homicide scene, and all the guests into suspects.

Behind their façade of perfection, the Calhoun family has been keeping some very dark secrets. Parents who use money and emotional manipulation to control their children. Two sons, one the black sheep who is desperate to outrun mistakes he’s made, and the other a new father, willing to risk everything to protect his child. And a daughter: an Instagram influencer who refuses to face the truth about the man she married.

As the investigation heats up, family tensions build, and alliances shift. Long-buried resentments surface, forcing the Calhouns to face their darkest secrets before it’s too late. 0aPartiesvFiction.0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008109510 0aFamily secretsvFiction0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103513923679 0aMurdervFiction0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008107179925440 0aHomicide investigationvFiction. 0aWashington (D.C.)vFiction. 0aThrillers (Fiction)0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026571922669 0aDetective and mystery fiction0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026280923664  2lcc  00102lcc4070aTBSbTBSd2025-08-28l0oP-EN BLUpB05625r2025-08-28t1w2025-08-28y1  c4894d4894
