One woman, multiple personas. But which one is telling the truth?

Alexa Wú nearly has her life together: a new relationship, a job that pays the bills, and a promising interview for a photojournalism position. But, it’s complicated. Alexa is manipulated by a series of alternate personas that run her life, and it’s a constant struggle to keep her other “selves” in check, to prevent them from coming out when it’s not safe, to make sure no one is aware they exist—except for the three people she trusts: her psychiatrist; her stepmother; and her enigmatic best friend Ella.

When Ella gets a job at a high-end gentlemen’s club, she catches the attention of its shark-like owner and is gradually drawn into his inner circle. As Alexa’s world becomes intimately entangled with Ella’s, she soon finds herself the unwitting keeper of a nightmarish secret. With no one to turn to and lives at stake, she follows Ella into London’s cruel underbelly on a daring rescue mission. Vulnerable and in danger, Alexa will discover whether her multiple personalities are her greatest asset, or her deadliest obstacle.
