Beautiful, privileged, and reckless Stella lives in the spotlight. Hardworking, laser-focused Violet stays behind the scenes, always ready to clean up the mess that Stella inevitably leaves in her wake. After graduation, Violet moves to New York and lands a job in cable news, where she works her way up from intern to assistant to producer, and to a life where she’s finally free from Stella’s shadow. In this fast-paced world, Violet thrives, and her ambitions grow—but everything is jeopardised when Stella, envious of Violet’s new life, uses her connections, beauty, and charisma to get hired at the same network.

Stella might be the one with the rich family and the right friends, but Violet isn’t giving up so easily.
