Summary
On a quiet evening in Woodland Hills, California, a successful husband and father ran a simple errand and unknowingly walked straight into a murder plot already in motion.
What first appeared to be a violent home invasion would unravel into something far more calculated. A secret affair. A staged crime scene. And a conspiracy that would take years to fully expose. Because sometimes, the most dangerous threats aren’t outside the home they are already inside.
