And you will soon realize that, thirty years after the crime, someone in El Chaltn is willing to wipe you off the face of the earth to keep you from finding out the truth.

A party -- a meticulously curated gathering of New Bethlehem's elite, from a desperate ex-NFL quarterback to a hockey coach with a penchant for married women, and a ruthless Wall Street "closer" who wields his wealth like a weapon. One night. Multiple betrayals. And a murder that will shatter New Bethlehem's carefully constructed façade.
