Description

A young copywriter lands a coveted role at HEBE, a SoHo luxury skincare and wellness brand named for the Greek goddess of youth—and quickly discovers that the company’s promises come with a hidden, escalating price. As Sophia Bannion is pulled deeper into the orbit of the charismatic founder and CEO, Tree Whitestone, her craving for meaning and self-control collides with a beauty regimen that turns “forever” into something far more literal. Blending surreal satire with body-horror spectacle, this razor-edged debut skewers influencer culture, female ambition, and the seductive economics of looking ageless at any cost. With the sharp, transgressive bite of a former beauty editor, E.K. Sathue delivers a coming-of-rage story about friendship, complicity, and the moment you realize the product isn’t just changing your skin—it’s changing you.
