IT'S A THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND MURDER. A REALITY DATING SHOW TAKES A DEADLY TURN...

When Kansas sweetheart Maggie Lathrop is crowned the winner of America’s most popular dating show, her life is transformed overnight.

Suddenly, Maggie has it all: a gorgeous husband, an immaculate Los Angeles mansion, and an entourage of glamorous friends.

Despite picture-perfect appearances, the world Maggie has created is shattered after she’s found murdered in a desolate warehouse.

As her sister, Emma, attempts to uncover the truth about Maggie’s life, a deadlier side to Hollywood is revealed.

Because being beautiful can have the ugliest consequences. . .
