THE WEDDING BARN
Big Little Lies meets The Guest List on the rocky Maine coast.
The perfect venue. Guests with secrets. Two mysterious deaths.
Ingrid and Max have found the perfect spot for a rustic yet upscale wedding: a beautiful barn on the Maine coast. The fact that it's owned by Max's ex and Ingrid's former best friend is just a detail, right?
Linny has promised to make their day truly special. But as the once close-knit group of friends gathers, more than gifts and best wishes are unpacked. Old resentments, betrayals, and the desire for revenge threaten to shatter their fragile peace.
The Host: Linny needs to make the wedding barn a success to save her family home. But agreeing to host this wedding may be the biggest mistake she's ever made—and could cost her everything.
The Sister: Sarah is determined to find out who is responsible for her sister's death seven years ago. She doesn't realize that someone will kill to prevent the truth from coming out.
The Bride: Ingrid is on the cusp of a perfect life with Max. Then she learns that his poor judgment has jeopardized everything. She can't let that happen.
The Maid of Honor: Kim has a secret that could destroy her world—and the wrong person knows.
Someone dies…again…and this time everyone has a motive.
