Ambitious parents, wilful kids and the pursuit of prestige - no matter the cost.... A gripping listen, perfect for fans of Big Little Lies.
In the peaceful, privileged community of Crystal, Colorado, a group of close friends are raising their families in harmony.
Until one day, news begins to spread that a 'gifted school' will be opening its doors in their town. There are only a few prestigious places, and the competition will be ferocious.
As parents and children begin to compete, cracks start to show in this picturesque community. Fault lines appear between friends and siblings, in marriages and careers, as old resentments start to simmer and long-buried secrets threaten to detonate under the pressure....
Just how far will these parents go to give their children a good education, and what will be the ultimate price?
