Set at an elite college in small town New England, the story follows the shifting alliances and romantic entanglements of six tight-knit students...until one of them is murdered.

Headland recently wrapped the first season of Netflix's original series Russian Doll which she created with Natasha Lyonne & Amy Poehler

Sugar23's head of production Ashley Zalta identified the project and will produce it alongside Michael Sugar, Anonymous Content and Aevitas's Todd Shuster. Nicole Clemens and Aevitas's Lori Galvin will executive produce.

Aevitas's Lori Galvin and Lane Zachary sold this debut book at auction to Ballantine, who will publish in June 2019.
