But one girl did return.
And now, five years later, the men in charge of Sisters Place, the men that brushed the missing girls off as runaways, are turning up dead.
Seventeen-year-old Nev is the girl who returned. The girl who survived. For years shes tried to leave what happened in the forest in Avan Island behind her, but the mysterious deaths of the men who once controlled her have forced her to confront her past and the town that was all too happy to forget her and her missing sisters.
Dead girls, female rage, and the determination to survive drive Nev on her propulsive journey to find answers and peace and to ultimately seek revenge.
