About this Event
Welcome to the Knox, Boston’s most exclusive secret society

Far from Boston’s glittering elite is newcomer Taylor Adams, a young nurse eager to leave her humble past behind. When the glamorous Vivian lands in her ER after a suspicious fall, Taylor is instantly captivated. But then Vivian abruptly disappears without a trace, sending Taylor on a search for answers that pulls her into the Knox itself—as their new employee.

The further Taylor ventures into the Knox’s world of unimaginable wealth and dark history, the more the mystery surrounding Vivian deepens. As Taylor will soon discover, more so than money or status, secrets are this society’s true currency.

Told in multiple timelines and point of views—including that of The Knox red-brick townhouse itself—The Society is a dark and twisty tale set amid the deceptively charming cobblestone streets of Beacon Hill. Coming January 2026!
