In 1994, sixteen-year-old Flora Powell vanished from her sleepy seaside town without a trace. Twenty-five years later, tragedy strikes again when Flora’s sister, Heather walks into a stranger’s house and allegedly kills two people in cold blood. Heather’s best friend Jess, now a reporter, returns to the hometown she left behind to cover the case and dig for answers. What happened to the girl she used to know? The question haunts Jess and propels her to find the key that may unlock the mysteries involving both sisters. But the investigation may reveal a darker side to her idyllic hometown.
