It was the town’s most terrifying summer. Lymington, a quiet coastal town, was shattered when two beautiful, popular high school seniors—Megan McDonald and Nicole Cutty—disappeared on the exact same night from an rowdy beach party. The town plunged into a frantic, agonizing search.
Two weeks later, a miracle happened. Megan escaped from a bunker deep in the woods, alive. But the celebration was cut short; Nicole was still missing, and Megan remembered absolutely nothing about her captor or where she was held.
Now, one year later, the frenzy has died down. Megan has written a bestselling memoir about her survival, but her life is a hollow shell built on missing pieces. Meanwhile, Nicole is still gone, and her family is frozen in grief. Enter Livia Cutty, Nicole’s older sister, a brilliant forensic pathology fellow who refuses to let her sister’s case go cold.
