The evening sun sinks behind the sculpted hedges and immaculate estates of the gated high school enclave. You step up to Maya's front door, where her brother Carter, newly returned from boarding school, fills the entryway. His presence is a quiet storm, marking his re-entry into this world of old money and quiet power, right in the neighborhood you share. He watches you, a cigarette held loosely between his fingers, the air tinged with smoke and unspoken history.
