Sixteen years ago, Donna Bellarmine had everything: Money, fame, and artistic success. Her chart-topping band, Madonna Bell, ruled the airwaves and sold out stadiums, until one night she lost it all. Now she's nine months sober and reconnecting with Renata, the teenage daughter she gave up for adoption. When a music executive coaxes her out of self-imposed exile, she heads for rural Wisconsin with a new lineup of Madonna Bell to record a comeback album in a secluded mansion called the Haven. With her friend and manager Charisse at her side, and Renata visiting for the week, everything's looking up. Then a storm cuts them off from civilization and people start turning up murdered. Donna must sift through the secrets and lies of the musicians and crew to discover which of them is the killer. And she'll have to reckon with her past if she's going to make it out of the Haven alive.
