Together, they weave an intricate web of falsities to keep their families in the dark.
But as they dive deeper into opposing sides, doubt threatens their fragile alliance. Will their bond prove strong enough to shatter the system, or will the weight of their lies turn them against each other?

When a Chaser attack forces Eddie out of hiding, she stumbles into an Agent on a quest for answers. In exchange for her help, he offers something irresistible. Their secret deal could either turn her life around or leave everything she loves in ashes.
