In a world of illusions, Trinity must decide how far she’s willing to go to leave her past behind—and what she’s willing to risk for a chance at a new life. Trinity is determined to escape—from her aunt’s stifling home, the shadows of her troubled past, and her Southeast Washington, DC neighborhood, where dreams often go to die. But how? Her path takes an unexpected turn when she meets Skylar, whose glamorous, carefree life is worlds apart from Trinity’s own. Landing a job in the city’s affluent enclave, Trinity finds herself surrounded by privileged young people who seem to have it all but value little. Drawn to Skylar’s charisma and charm—despite her occasional selfishness—Trinity begins to navigate this glittering new world, blending in effortlessly. For a while, she feels invisible, relieved that no one notices she doesn’t quite belong. But Ethan, Skylar’s talented and perceptive boyfriend, sees through the facade. With his sharp artist’s eye, he senses there’s more to Trinity than she’s letting on. As Ethan gets closer to uncovering her secrets, he may discover that Skylar is hiding truths of her own.
