Paris. A city of glamour, wealth and lies.

Struggling writer Michael needs money, so when he's hired to chaperone wealthy young Clara around Paris, he jumps at the chance. But Clara is cold, demanding and hiding something.

As Michael becomes increasingly intrigued by Clara's strange behaviour, he uncovers a shocking family secret that someone will stop at nothing to keep hidden.

The closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous things become. And as his fascination with Clara grows, Michael must question just how far obsession can go...
