Kim Karlsen just found a dead body in her pool.During a swingers’ party, Billy Karlsen disappears into his home office, not keen on his wife Kim’s kind of parties but willing to overlook this single flaw in his otherwise exquisite trophy wife.Kim’s sexuality is one thing she’s had control over in her life.

From relatives to relationships, Billy is full of surprises, even from beyond the grave.Kim’s ex-husband and good friend, Michael, helps her navigate the investigation and juggle the care of their fifteen year old daughter, Olivia, who gets expelled for the first time in her life.As things get more out of control, Kim wonders how well you can ever truly know another person, and in the end…How well do you really want to know anyone?
