When a young girl loses her friends, her world begins to unravel. Their disappearances seemed straightforward at first, but reality shifts when she discovers all is not what it might seem...

Fiona is lonely. She wasn't always, but now...

Once upon a time, Fiona had friends. Wonderful friends. Harper, Madison, and Jackson were everything to her. The four used to spend their days together doing whatever they could to pass the time, but those days are long gone, ever since the incident.

Not too long ago, Harper, Madison, and Jackson fell into the river in a freak accident and drowned.

At least... that's what the investigating police officers decided.

Alone and desperate for answers, Fiona wonders if they've shared the whole truth with the town. Or maybe there's much more to the story.

Armed with only her wit, her pounding heart, and a sneaking suspicion that her friends' disappearances are much more than meets the eye, Fiona vows to find the truth-however far it will take her into the darkness.
