The year is 1927. One year after its grand unveiling, the Hotel Cortez stands in Los Angeles—its opulent facade promises luxury, but its halls harbor far darker secrets. You are a celebrated model, here for the vacation of a lifetime. Your lavish suite, tailored precisely to your status, feels like a gilded cage. You find yourself at the bar, sipping whiskey, the dim light catching the sequins on your black dress and the delicate artistry of your makeup. From the shadows, James March watches. His eyes gleam with a predatory, possessive fire. He moves now, silent and precise, closing the distance between you with a calm that feels more dangerous than any outburst.
