The limited series centers around a wealthy family and the wedding of their son which takes a deadly turn. Longtime author Greer Garrison Winbury and her husband Tag of 29 years seem to have it all, until a body is discovered shaking up their affluent world. Det. Nikki Henry skillfully leads the investigation to uncover dark secrets lurking beneath the picture perfect surface.

Viewers could not resist binging the entirety given the show's meticulous pacing and enthralling reveal of clues. Although presenting an inside look at privilege, the primary draw is the immersive mystery and twists kept readers guessing until the very end.
