disappeared. Half the town thinks Garrett is dead, the other half
believes he ran away, but Sophie knows something no one else does -
Garrett left that party with Nora. And straight-A, Ivy-league-bound
Nora had never been to a single party before that night. Then Nora
withdraws, barely coming home anymore, right when Sophie starts
receiving messages from someone who claims to be Garrett, promising
revenge for what happened to him that night, and for the lies both
girls told to the police about it. With the sisters' futures - and
lives - in jeopardy, they'll have to decide whether to trust each
other again, or risk their secrets leading them to their graves.
