In this gripping debut PI procedural, an ex-cop is dragged back into the policing world that she fled when a teen girl goes missing in her new town. Please help me. I think he killed Avery. Vinnie Taylor isn’t a cop anymore. Once a decorated detective, Vinnie left behind a 25-year career in a blaze of scandal—working undercover to bust a sex trafficking ring in her own Homicide Unit. Nearly beaten to death by her former colleagues to prevent her testimony, Vinnie has found peace in the small town of Wills Harbor, Maryland. Or so she thought. When a local teenager goes missing and nobody in town seems concerned besides the girl's best friend, Vinnie can’t help but take the case, even if it means returning to a world she's gone hundreds of miles to leave behind. She feels a certain kinship with Avery Adair, a whip smart teen who grew up on the wrong side of town, just like Vinnie. But as she digs deeper, Vinnie uncovers a trail of dangerous online encounters and a double life that Avery kept from even her best friends. The closer Vinnie gets to answers, the more perilous her own circumstances become. Does Vinnie have the courage to face the ghosts of her past and the ugly truths hiding in her new hometown?

Llega la novela de la nueva apuesta de Netflix: la adaptaci n del xito de Broadway The Prom. Emma Nolan tiene quince a os y solo sue a con una cosa en este mundo: bailar con su novia en el baile de graduaci n. Pero en su peque o pueblo de Edgewater, Indiana, eso es como pedir la luna. Alyssa Greene es la chica m s conocida del instituto, la m s popular, jefa del consejo estudiantil e hija de la presidenta de la asociaci n de padres. Pero esconde un secreto: su relaci n con Emma. Cuando se corre la voz de que Emma planea llevar a una chica al baile, es tal el alboroto, que la asociaci n de padres amenaza con cancelarlo. Todo eso ocurre antes de que entren en acci n Barry Glickman y Dee Dee Allen, dos estrellas de Broadway que deciden asumir la causa para obtener un poco de publicidad a cambio. Pero cuando llegan a Indiana para enarbolar la lucha en nombre de Emma, sus buenas intenciones se tuercen por completo. Con Emma enfrentada a los prejuicios de cabeza, Alyssa sumida en la duda sobre si salir del armario y Barry y Dee Dee disfrutando de toda la atenci n medi tica, la tormenta perfecta est a punto de estallar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Soon to be a Netflix film starring Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Kerry Washington, Keegan-Michael Key, James Corden, Andrew Rannells, and Ariana DeBose Emma Nolan and Alyssa Greene share the same goal: debut as a couple at their senior prom. Only a few things stand in their way--okay, maybe more than a few. For one, Alyssa hasn't come out yet. It's not that she doesn't want to, but with a mother on the PTA who will stop at nothing to prevent same-sex couples from attending prom, it's not a conversation she's eager to have--with good reason. Before long, Mrs. Greene has the entire town backing her up, and it's starting to look as though Emma and Alyssa won't get their happily-ever-after. Then, out of the blue, two Broadway stars arrive on the scene to fight on the girls' behalf (and get a little publicity along the way). But when their good intentions fall flat, it's up to Emma and Alyssa to take matters into their own hands and show their small Indiana town--and the world--that love is love is love.
