Paradise has a deadly price

On the eve of Mexico’s Day of the Dead, two bodies are found floating in a luxury villa pool…

The wealthy Milton family have gathered to celebrate a lavish wedding anniversary during the weekend of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). But behind the champagne and diamonds lies a ruthless hunger for money and power – and people willing to do anything to get their hands on both.

Among the guests is Lily, a struggling actress secretly working as a private investigator. She’s been invited to the villa for a reason, but she’s far from the only guest with secrets in Mexico that weekend.

Soon, the anniversary celebrations spiral into a deadly game of lies, betrayal and revenge. And with everyone hiding something, it becomes impossible to know who can be trusted.

And before the weekend is over, somebody will kill to keep the truth buried.

Because in paradise, even the darkest secrets have a way of rising to the surface.
