Located on beautiful, isolated Shelter Island, Rush's Recovery caters to celebrities and the ultra-rich, to whom privacy and discretion are key. The center's current residents include Lord Edward of Exeter, the son of a British duke, who's struggling with addiction; Amelia Blue Harris, the daughter of a Gen X rockstar struggling with an eating disorder; and Florence Bloom, a pop star struggling with just about everything. But the care team can't keep Florence from playing her music so loud it wakes the other guests. They can't keep Edward from sneaking out in search of companionship at night when he can't sleep, or Amelia Blue from trying to find answers about her own past that the center's staff is hiding. Most of all, they can't shelter their guests from the demons that haunt themor stop one of them from turning up dead.
