Mercilessly bullied in high school, Ava knows she needs to put the past behind her and move on, but she cant not until shes exacted precise, catastrophic revenge on the people who hurt her the most.
First, she watches Saanvi. Flawlessly chic and working hard at a top architectural firm, Saanvi has it all together on the surface. But everyone does bad things when they think no one is watching and Ava only wants whats fair to destroy Saanvis life the way her own was destroyed.
Next, she watches Cass. Shes there as Cass tries on wedding dresses, shes there when Cass picks out a cake, shes there when Cass betrays her fianc. Shes the reason Casss entire future comes crashing down.
Finally, Ava watches Mel. Mel was always the ringleader and if anyone has to pay, its her. But one tiny slipup and Ava realises the truth: Mel knows shes being watched, and shes ready to play Avas games to the bitter end.
