In the winter of 1960, small-town piano teacher Lucy Lay enters the Rich family, believing she has come for a simple tutoring job. She soon discovers the position is only a façade, and with no way out, she is pressed into the family’s arrangement to disguise herself as a princess from a mysterious nation and marry the family heir. Inside the hush of that vast winter manor, desire gathers like heat beneath ice. The secret she uncovers binds them in ways neither can escape. What begins as confinement becomes a dangerous pull that reshapes the course of her life.

When Mara logs into her late sister Leah's laptop, she finds an email sent two days after Leah's death - with a video file she was never meant to watch. Inside are rules, a dangerous game, and one warning: "If you lose, you stay."

Following the death of her sister Leah, Mara delves into the laptop she left behind, seeking answers. The files and recordings she discovers quietly contradict the story she thought she knew, forcing her to face an unsettling reality.
