Glass Houses of Ashford

In the pristine suburb of Ashford Grove, where manicured lawns conceal festering wounds of envy, the Sterling family's annual gala becomes a bloodbath. As Detective Inspector Helena Vance peels back layers of digital detritus, she discovers the neighborhood's anonymous forum, The Grove Watch, is less a community board and more a virological medium where whispered resentments mutate into homicidal intent. Inspired by the corporate cruelty of immigrant detention, this Kaoru Takamura-esque procedural dissects the banality of surveillance society, revealing how the internet acts as a magnifying lens, focusing ambient malice into a lethal beam that incinerates the boundary between the watched and the watcher.
