Thrift fashionista Dez Lane doesn't want to date Patrick Carrington she just wants to meet his
mother the editor-in-chief of Nouveau magazine. When he invites her to his family's big Easter
reunion at their lake retreat she's certain she can put up with his arrogance and fend off his
advances long enough to ask Marlene Caulfield-Carrington for an internship someone with her
pedigree could never nab through the regular submission route. When they arrive at the enormous
mansion on an island in the center of a Georgia lake Dez is floored?she's never witnessed how
the 1% lives before in all their ridiculous unnecessary luxury. But once all the family
members are on the island and the ferry has departed shit gets real. For decades the
Carringtons have made their servants sign contracts that are basically indentured servitude
and with nothing to lose the servants have decided their only route to freedom is to get rid
of the Carringtons for good? Dez and Patrick are on the run but the more Carringtons she sees
die and the more servants who tell their stories the more Dez realizes that she wants nothing
to do with Marlene and her magazine. In fact by the end Dez might be the one strangling
Marlene to death with her trademark chunky pearls?
