Description

Five guests. Five courses. And secrets spilling like cocktails …

Welcome to the worst dinner party ever.

It was supposed to be a celebration: champagne cocktails, a five-course feast, and plenty of good times.

But dinner is cancelled.

Selina, Caroline, Sage, Richard, Max. Each guest believes they alone are Daniel’s confidante, they alone know Daniel’s darkest secrets.

But no one knows where Daniel is.

Or so they say…
