Description

Ten years after her daughter is kidnapped and her once-glamorous life is publicly branded a tragedy of “unfit motherhood,” Lila Devlin returns to Los Angeles determined to rebuild herself—through a radical new skincare brand and a carefully curated second chance. But when a chance encounter with a parasitic blogger ends in murder, Lila’s pursuit of control curdles into something darker, and her company’s “secret ingredient” begins to blur the line between reinvention and ruin. As her success skyrockets with the help of her devoted publicist, Sylvie, Lila’s unraveling obsession forces her to confront what grief demands, what vengeance promises, and what celebrity culture will devour to stay hungry. Sharp, darkly funny, and unsettlingly incisive, this Hollywood takedown skewers toxic beauty standards while delivering a relentless, blood-soaked hunt that grows into a haunting reckoning.
