Yet the health benefits of removing toxic people from your life may have far greater benefits to both physical and psychological health.

Amanda y Clay se dirigen a un rincón remoto de Long Island con la idea de tomarse un descanso de su ajetreada vida en Nueva York: un respiro de fin de semana en una casa de lujo en compañía de su hijo y su hija.

Amanda e Clay hanno scelto un angolo remoto di Long Island per trascorrere qualche giorno di vacanza con i due figli adolescenti. Una pausa dalla vita frenetica di New York, una settimana tutta per loro in un’elegante casa di villeggiatura. I giorni passano felici, ma l’incantesimo si spezza quando un’anziana coppia bussa alla porta in piena notte: George e Ruth, molto spaventati, sostengono di essere i proprietari della villa. Un improvviso blackout a New York li ha costretti a tornare nella casa che avevano messo in affitto.

Der aufsehenerregende Bestseller aus den USA über Ungerechtigkeit, Rassismus und die Illusion, alles unter Kontrolle zu haben. Ist dieses Ferienhaus noch ein sicherer Ort für ihre Familie? Was ist in New York wirklich los? Amanda und Clay wollen mit ihren beiden Kindern eine unbeschwerte Ferienwoche auf Long Island verbringen. Doch mitten in der Nacht steht dort plötzlich ein älteres, schwarzes Ehepaar vor der Tür. Die beiden behaupten, das Haus gehöre ihnen.
