When Dara Banks, Rock Canyon's leading Realtor, searches for an assistant, finding someone as resourceful as Meryl "Merry" Rafter seems too good to be true. So good in fact, she neglects to run a reference check. Bad move. Before she knows it, Merry, a former "actress" trying to be "helpful," has insinuated herself into Dara's business, family, and charity, and may be the only person saving her from prison. Dara becomes suspicious and begins snooping into Merry's past. Feeling cornered, Merry reciprocates by launching an investigation of her own and realizes—too late—that she may have picked the wrong mark to con. These women's unsettling discoveries, and their desperate efforts to safeguard their skeleton-filled closets and fragile self-images, lead to an explosive confrontation certain to destroy the lives of everyone in their midst.
