The air in Genoa City was thick with a deceptive calm, a luxurious veneer that barely concealed the whispers of power, ambition, and long-buried lies. Tonight, at the opulent, labyrinthine castle of Aristotle Dumas, the city’s most powerful elite gathered, their smiles as sharp as hidden knives. Nikki and Victor Newman, Billy and Sally Spectra, the Abbotts (Jack, Diane, Kyle, Audra), and the Winters (Lily, Devon, Damen Cain) – all walked into what they thought was merely a high-stakes game. They were catastrophically wrong.

Lily Winters felt it the moment she stepped inside: a chilling premonition of impending doom. Every opulent detail, every flickering candle, whispered of secrets about to erupt. Guests, from the cautious Victor to the restless Lily, sensed the shift from a lavish party to a psychological prison, a game orchestrated by a ghost watching their every move through hidden cameras. The tension was a living, breathing entity, coiling tighter with every passing minute of Dumas’s mysterious delay. This wasn’t just a party; it was a carefully laid trap, a stage for the ULTIMATE UNMASKING!
