Celebrating her forty-fifth birthday at the hot, new local pub, popular podcaster Alix Summer crosses paths with an unassuming woman called Josie Fair. Josie, it turns out, is also celebrating her forty-fifth birthday. They are, in fact, birthday twins. A few days later, Alix and Josie bump into each other again, this time outside Alix's children's school. Josie has been listening to Alix's podcasts and thinks she might be an interesting subject for her series. She is, she tells Alix, on the cusp of great changes in her life. Josie's life appears to be strange and complicated, and although Alix finds her unsettling, she can't quite resist the temptation to keep going on the project. Slowly, she starts to realize Josie is hiding some very dark secrets, and before she knows it, Josie has inveigled her way into Alix's life. And into her home. But as quickly as she had arrived, Josie Fair disappears. Only then does Alix discover Josie has left a terrible and terrifying legacy in her wake, and Alix has become the subject of her own true crime podcast, with her life and her family's lives in great danger.
