As the idyllic summer on Long Island winds down, Alex finds herself at a crossroads, unwelcome and adrift. Following a social faux pas, she is cast aside by her older host, left with little but her astute ability to read and influence the desires of those around her. Choosing to remain, Alex becomes a spectral presence in the sunlit enclaves and sandy expanses of an exclusive society. Here, she touches lives with temporary intimacy, weaving a path that blurs the lines of morality and leaves a subtle trail of upheaval in its wake. 'The Guest,' with magnetic prose and a haunting narrative, explores the precarious balance of a young woman's existence as she hovers on the brink of societal acceptance and isolation.
