Annie Tripp has everything she needs--Italian sweaters, vintage chandelier earrings, and elite ice skating lessons--but all that changes when her father is accused of scamming hundreds of people out of their investments.

As the family's lies begin to crumble and truths demand consequences, Annie must decide...
