Emily Carter finally achieves the American dream by buying her first home in the quiet suburban community of Oak Haven.
But her dream quickly turns into a nightmare.
One misplaced trash bin.
One blade of grass too tall.
One parking mistake.
Each tiny violation comes with another fine from the neighborhood's all-powerful HOA.
At the center of it all is Margaret Whitmore, the elegant HOA president who insists every rule exists to "protect the community."
The longer Emily stays, the more she realizes the HOA isn't simply enforcing rules...
It's watching everyone.
Residents disappear without explanation.
Homes are quietly sold overnight.
Security cameras seem to know everything.
Every neighbor is hiding something.
To survive Oak Haven, Emily must uncover the truth before she becomes the HOA's next target.
