In the mid-1990s, one teenage girl disappears, and another seems to step into her life—taking her friends, her place, and eventually the suspicion that follows. As the months pass, the fallout spreads through their town, turning grief, rumor, and jealousy into a shifting mystery about what really happened and who knew more than they said.
