Gillan Flynn’s Gone Girl meets P-Valley in Nic Stone’s adult thriller debut about two missing erotic dancers from Atlanta’s most notorious gentlemen’s club and the woman dedicated to finding them.

When Damaris “Charm” Willburn, a new daytime dancer, vanishes without a trace, former headliner Micah “Lyriq” Johanssen suspects something more than a no call, no show. As Lyriq’s former lover, Felice “Lucky” Carothers, also went missing under similar circumstances, Lyriq decides she’s going to find them.

As Lyriq delves deeper into Charm and Lucky’s disappearances, she uncovers a tangled web of privilege, power, and gaslighting. The line between friend and foe blurs, forcing Lyriq to confront the question: is finding these women worth the risk of losing her own life?
