Their feud made them iconic. One decision made them infamous.

After all, where's the fun in rivalry if there's no bloodshed?

Nadine Heywood and Harper Moore have been rivals since their first days at drama school, a feud that has consumed them. A feud more passionate, more clawing than the gossip magazines ever note. Hollywood's It-Girl versus the acclaimed starlet, caught in an obsession that can only lead to one thing: someone's downfall.

After beating out Harper in every category for best actress, Nadine believes she has finally done it. She's won – completely and irrefutably. So why are thoughts of Harper still tormenting her? Why doesn't victory taste at all sweet?

When a knock at her door reveals Harper covered in blood, Nadine realizes this could be the ultimate opportunity to bring her opponent down. Or change them both forever.

With flashbacks to Harper and Nadine's infamous in-fighting building toward a murder that makes them iconic, and excerpts of an interview with Nadine for Harper's upcoming true crime documentary, this is a salacious tale of scandal, ego, and infamy about two frenemies who may be more to each other than they would ever like to admit.
