When Emma notices her husband's underwear has mysteriously changed after his morning run, she dismisses it as paranoia. But small inconsistencies multiply—missing clothes, suspicious texts, a best friend who's too quick to gaslight her concerns.
Then she finds his underwear at her best friend's apartment.
What Emma uncovers isn't just an affair—it's an elaborate con that's been running for three years. But Marcus and Vanessa made one fatal mistake: they chose the wrong victim.
Because Emma has been playing a longer game. And she's been waiting for this moment since before they ever met.
