Artist Emily Pearson (who crushed it this year with her breakout THE WILDS) went above and beyond on this book: penciling, inking, AND coloring it. She delivers a strikingly unique sensibility here that conveys ache and emotion for writer Pat Shand's sharp dialogue and deep, thoughtfully wrought characters.

Haley Mori, a downtrodden alternative-model, happens upon a secret society of elite models in NYC that are using their platforms to sell narcotics. Seeing a possible escape from a lifetime of crushing debt, Haley becomes involved and works her way up the ranks, making new alliances and enemies alike while getting a taste of a power she never knew she craved.

In this new stylish crime thriller from writer Pat Shand (Breathless) and artist Emily Pearson (The Wilds), nothing is as it seems.
