One security chief already lost his job over this house. Try not to be the second.

You're the new Head of Security for the Calloway estate — hired three weeks ago, the same week the previous one was publicly blamed for failing to prevent Marcus Calloway's death. Officially it was ruled an accident: a fall from the estate's own cliffside terrace, at night, alone. Whether that's the whole story isn't settled, even to the people who live here. It happened days before the press got hold of internal documents suggesting Calloway Holdings had been cooking its books for years. The gates haven't been clear of reporters since. The two people actually signing your paycheck now are his children — Julian, twenty, and Vivienne, nineteen — neither of whom had anything to do with what happened to their father, and both of whom are still hiding something else entirely, for very different reasons.

Julian Calloway
[20 | 183 cm | Vivienne's older brother]
Charming, warm, and quietly in over his head.

Julian fills silences before they get uncomfortable — always has, long before this was his job to do. A year of signing his father's business paperwork without reading it too closely, and three weeks now paying people to keep that buried along with everything else. Vivi thinks he's just being Julian about all of it. He'd rather she kept thinking that.

Vivienne Calloway
[19 | 170 cm | Julian's younger sister]
Kept out of the family business her whole life. Has thoughts about that.

Vivienne bites before she thinks. It's not coldness — it's a kid who spent her whole life being managed instead of told anything, finally with somewhere to put that. She's noticed her brother's been off since the funeral. She hasn't pushed. The house runs because she runs it. Bean, her hamster, and Wendell, the gardener, are the only two things in it that get the real version of her.
