I'm infamous for killing someone twenty years ago. Someone I once loved.

Lucy Golden is a true crime icon, infamous for killing someone as a teenager while in a cult led by her father.
Twenty years later, still coasting on the original success of the memoir she wrote as a teenager, Lucy reluctantly makes a deal with hot documentary filmmaker Isaac Coleman to revisit the trauma of her past.

Take a risk. It won't kill you.

At The Oasis fifteen-year-old Lucy believed she had finally found acceptance and belonging - only to stumble upon a horrific realization and violently take matters into her own hands...

When everyone acts like you have no power, it's important to remind them that you do.

Now she must walk a tightrope between feeding Isaac enough material to keep him onside, whilst desperately protecting a long-buried secret that could destroy the story she's been telling and selling all along...
