Once, Beth was a different person, convinced she was living her dream life with the
enigmatic wellness group, Elixir. Being energetic and finishing her tasks at work at lightning speed, looking like those runaway models, she thought she finally had it all figured out. But when that dream became a nightmare, she had no choice but to run, no matter what—or who—stood in her way. Ten years later, exhausted and struggling with the pressures of motherhood, she receives a mysterious letter bearing only an infinity symbol, and knows immediately it is from them.
The past she’d run from has finally caught up with her, and the secrets she’s tried so hard
to hide will soon be uncovered. Beth’s most-prized possession, her new and “perfect” life that she had built with her loving husband and the cutest daughter Etta—is threatened. It is upon Beth to prevent her life from being in complete shambles. But the constant paranoia, the fear, is finally taking a toll on her and she has to pay the price for the ultimate truth.
