A seemingly perfect marriage in a wealthy section of DC goes haywire when Oliver, a young man doing his best to live a sober life, visits a day bathhouse and what should be a casual fling turns into a vicious attack. Desperate to keep the secret from his husband, Nathan, a prominent surgeon, he concocts a series of lies to hide his indiscretion. But as this fast-paced novel progresses, we learn that Oliver might not be the only one keeping secrets—and the truth is more shocking and insidious than Oliver could have ever imagined.
