Screen Adaptation News

Emma Cline’s sun-drenched psychological thriller is in development as a major feature film with A24, directed by Lorene Scafaria (Hustlers) and starring Sadie Sink (Stranger Things). Read the original novel before it hits screens.

A Contemporary Hamptons Literary Thriller of Social Parasitism, Class Precarity, and Elite Privilege

Twenty-two-year-old NYC grifter Alex accompanies fifty-something wealthy financier Simon to his secluded Long Island Hamptons estate for the summer. After a social blunder at an exclusive dinner party gets her cast out by Simon, Alex refuses to return to Manhattan, where a vengeful former client pursues her.

Stranded on Long Island with limited money and a cracked phone, Alex survives for a week by drifting through private Hamptons beach clubs, gated mansions, and high-society parties as an uninvited guest, aiming to attend Simon's annual Labor Day bash.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Emma Cline crafts a tense, claustrophobic portrait of social precarity and class ambition in Long Island's elite summer enclave. Perfect for fans of Patricia Highsmith, Ottessa Moshfegh, and Raven Leilani.
