Magazine writer Irene "Reenie" Bigelow watches her childhood best friend, Felicity Wild, suffer through a harrowing arraignment and trial. Felicity stands accused of a brutal double murder, alleged to have manipulated two clients into naming her as the sole beneficiary of their life insurance policies before killing them. 

​

Despite a jury handing Felicity a life sentence, Reenie knows in her gut that her old friend is not capable of murder. Puzzlingly, Felicity mouthed the words "Go away" when she caught sight of Reenie in the courtroom, and she refused to utter a single word in her own defense. 

​

Driven by her unwavering belief in Felicity's innocence, Reenie decides to use her deep connections to Felicity's past to unravel the truth. As Reenie begins her independent investigation, she faces pushback from all sides—including her boss at the fashion magazine, Felicity's own attorney, and several individuals guarding their own secrets.
