There's a thin line between stories people tell and the lives they lead..
Part-time movie theater employee Tom Lingquist is also a full-time private eye used to uncovering secrets, but his latest case hits closer to home.
When a co-worker at the theater, Adrian Hernandez, is revealed to have died from a fentanyl overdose, Adrian's mother refuses to believe her son was a willing participant in a drug habit and her lawyer enlists Tom's help to uncover the truth. He immediately becomes curious about Adrian's last endeavor before he died - a short urban romance novel he wrote entitled Baroness Holly.
From Tom's perspective, Adrian's book is more than just a debut; it's a clue to a motive..and Adrian's demise was a calculated hit, orchestrated by an unknown coworker who served as the inspiration for the character of the enigmatic Baroness Holly.
As described in Adrian's book, Baroness is a self-described wallflower, who suddenly feels the urge to sow some wild oats and make the most of what she has..but who could this young woman be? Tom believes this salacious work isn't entirely fictitious..and any resemblance to an employee working at the same theater as Tom and Adrian was very intentional.
