Nine years ago, with the world’s eyes on her, Charlie Colbert fled. The press and police called her a “witness” to the horrible events that transpired at her elite graduate school. But only Charlie knew that there was more to her story - if only she could make sense of how it all unfolded. Now, Charlie has meticulously rebuilt her life: She’s the editor-in-chief of a major magazine, the fiancée of the heir to a publishing dynasty, and hell-bent on never letting her guard down again. But when a film adaptation of “Scarlet Christmas” - the bloody scene that transpired that fateful Christmas Eve - threatens to shatter Charlie’s world, her haunting memories surge back with unprecedented clarity. No truth has ever been more dangerous than the one that now hides in her own mind. With everything at stake, Charlie must decide how far she will go to prevent the demons of her past from colliding with her seemingly perfect present.
