Two brilliant, wealthy college students set out to prove a theory: that intelligence — and money — are their own kind of immunity from consequence. Susan Evans and Eva Freeman lure a fourteen-year-old boy from an equally privileged family to a lake cabin to test it, certain that careful people don't get caught. They get away with it, almost. When a nine-hundred-dollar pair of sunglasses becomes the one thing their genius didn't account for, the friendship that built the crime becomes the battleground that decides it, as two of the city's most celebrated defense attorneys turn their clients against each other in a trial neither can afford to lose. A tense, character-driven psychological thriller about privilege, loyalty, and the cost of being right.
