What was meant to be a healing retreat quickly devolved into a nightmare drenched in grief and suspicion. Now, under the gilded sky of the French Riviera, Nate Hastings finally speaks the words everyone else has been afraid to utter: “You knew he was going to die, didn’t you?” The room goes silent. Amy Lewis’s face crumples—not in denial, but devastation. And in that moment, the fragile illusion of safety, truth, and even love shatters completely.

The murder of Damian Cain in a quiet alley of Nice wasn’t just a tragedy—it was a calculated hit. The victims weren’t random, and the fallout has touched every soul present at that ill-fated villa. Nate, once calm and logical, now burns with questions. Why was Damian targeted? Why did Cain Ashby lock them all inside like prisoners? And most chilling of all—what did Amy know that she hadn’t said?

Amy had just begun rebuilding a broken connection with Damian, her son. The wounds of their past were starting to scar over. But in her last embrace with him before the party, she hesitated too long, held too tightly. It wasn’t just a mother’s love—it was a warning, an unspoken fear. She knew something wasn’t right that night. And now, Damian is gone.

Cain’s behavior in the aftermath only made things worse. Instead of comforting his guests or calling the authorities, he locked down the villa, turned away phones, and stationed guards dressed as staff. Was it shock? Or guilt? Cain vanished without a trace shortly after, leaving only a cryptic letter and evidence of financial transactions pointing to something deeply corrupt. Whatever he was hiding, it was worth running from.

Chance Chancellor’s arrival from the States didn’t clear the air—it only added fuel to a growing blaze. Surveillance footage hinted at a secret meeting between Damian and a man connected to a buried scandal involving pharmaceutical fraud and missing research. Nate now believes Damian was trying to expose something before he was silenced.

And Amy? Her health has taken a dark turn. Already fragile from her leukemia battle, she’s begun to slip into emotional collapse. Nate sees the signs—erratic heartbeat, hollow stares, whispered conversations with Damian’s ghost. Her guilt has metastasized into something life-threatening. She didn’t kill him, but she believes she could have stopped it. And that belief is eating her alive.

Now, Nate knows he can’t just be a doctor. He has to become a crusader. He will uncover the truth behind Damian’s death, find Cain Ashby, and unmask whoever orchestrated this tragedy from the shadows.

Because this isn’t just about one murder. It’s about every broken truth in Genoa City finally catching up with those who buried it.

And for Amy, the question remains: can she survive long enough to forgive herself?
