    "description": "In the inner circle, where can you hide a secret?\n\nIn this compulsive story of betrayal, old bonds and buried scandals, one British establishment family comes face to face with the consequences of privilege and the true cost of power.\n\nMartin and Ben were friends for decades \u2014 best friends, Martin would have said \u2014 before the terrible events at Ben\u2019s 40th birthday party tore them apart. So when Martin receives a surprise invitation back into the inner sanctum of the dazzling Fitzmaurice family after seven years of silence, he can\u2019t resist the chance to get his revenge. Ben has risen through the ranks of power, and is now touted as the next Prime Minister. But Martin can\u2019t help but notice certain flies in the ointment\u2026 Ben\u2019s wife, Serena, for instance, whose privileged existence is beginning to feel like a gilded cage. Or their daughter, Cosima, an environmental activist fighting against everything her parents once stood for. Or the disgraced MP Richard Take, determined to make his big comeback. And then there\u2019s Fliss, the Fitzmaurice black sheep, whose untimely death sparks more suspicion than closure. Through their intertwined stories, we see a family \u2013 and a nation \u2013 unravelling under the weight of its secrets.\n\nWith everyone watching, the stage is set for a reckoning. It's time for Martin and Ben to confront what love truly means when everything\u2014family, power, and loyalty\u2014is on the line.",
