Six talented but dangerously toxic personalities in the entertainment hotbed of Atlanta push their psychologist to her own vulnerable limits – and maybe beyond – in this enthralling, knife-edged thriller from NAACP Image Award-winning author Omar Tyree.
Dr. Victoria Benning knows it’s unethical to discuss the therapy sessions of her clients, but the drama of their unpredictable lives tests her professional role like never before . . .
There’s the brutally honest, gorgeous rap artist who uses sex to elevate her career . . . the hot young film director and master manipulator with a fetish for opportunistic women . . . the frustrated screenwriter, part-time driver, and full-time complainer who desperately needs a break . . . the music producer who prays for a blood sacrifice in order to succeed . . . the venture capitalist from a slave-ownership family, who now suffers from a spell of White guilt. . . . And finally, the hopeless dreamer who struggles to keep her mouth and mind at peace—while harassing the tolerant doctor she hopes will ultimately help her.
Working tirelessly, Dr. Benning observes a treacherous common denominator that plagues all six clients: a desperate impulse to grasp control of everything and everyone in their lives—no matter the cost. It’s a struggle with which she’s all too familiar. Determined to head off tragedy, she comes up with a brilliant game plan to make their collective talents work in everyone’s favor. . . . But soon, inexplicable events turn fatal, as the doctor finds her plan, her career, and her personal life spiraling into madness—and hopelessly out of control.
