Když chlapec v den své smrti zmizí, obrátí se na Maddie policie. Dívka se tak nechtěně zaplete do pátrání po dalších zmizelých lidech. Když vyšetřování ukáže, že byli zavražděni, z Maddie se stane podezřelá. Jenže pravý vrah běhá po svobodě…

Wild rumors are swirling in the Hamptons over “Twelve Angry Men,” a ruthlessly revealing one-woman show written and performed by Yelena Galanis. The well-known socialite dated her way through some of the East End’s most eligible bachelors, and now she’s sparing few details spilling their humiliating secrets.

Believing eleven other barely anonymous men had reasons to kill the thespian for playing a cruel game of kiss and tell, Cat teams up with her sidekick, Gilley, to track down Yelena’s list of rejected lovers and identify the vengeful culprit stalking around the seaside community, lingering frighteningly close to home…
