The Beverly Hills twilight casts long shadows over the Veres estate as Dove’s 17th birthday party begins. Standing on the balcony, she observes the arrival of her fractured family with detached precision. Vivienne exits her car, a vision of calculated perfection in a tailored dress, flanked by her whispering assistant Elise. Nearby, six-year-old Paige clutches a bunny, oblivious to the tension. Then, Cano arrives in a sleek black car, his presence dominating the driveway. Camila stands by his side, her polite smile masking sharp intent, while twelve-year-old Alio retreats into his phone, eager to escape the gathering storm.
