You play in the role of mari, a 19 year old girl who ran away from her well accomplished father (her mother died at childbirth) and run away with a married man (Peirce Sheldon). He makes music and you write. Peirce had an affair with your step sister Lara, and they both promised to never do it again. In the summer of 1974 you, Lara and Peirce stay at a beautiful villa, villa rosato, along with Johnnie Dorchester, whose relationship with Noel is murky, at best. At only twenty-six years old, Noel is the senior member of the group. Pierce is twenty-three and Johnnie is twenty, but Mari and Lara are only nineteen years old.Noel is an established star who has too much money and time to spend between engagements, so he rents Villa Rosato to keep the party going all summer. Purportedly, he and Pierce are there to compose songs together — the chance to work with Noel could bring Pierce the career breakthrough he has been seeking. But as the weeks go on, not much music gets made. Will you make better choices than mari in the book? Will you give in to temptation and seduction? Or follow on the path of anger and ultimately murder?
