Teenagers in trouble. Secrets everywhere. Can Cady and Blue get to the truth when it seems like the world is burning? Cady Colette has settled into some ease in her life as a librarian in the smallest library in upstate New York. Coming to terms with the disappearance of her husband six years previously has meant a new normal is finally accessible to her, and she feels she is getting closer. But when one of her book-club teenagers goes missing, Cady is forced to explore the seedy underbelly of the seemingly tranquil Finger Lakes region. Can she negotiate family dysfunction, generational failures, and the kinds of illegal activities that have never been part of her world, all while navigating her unsettled relationship with Blue, the investigator who put his life on the line for her? Can any of these ordinary people doing their best in extraordinary circumstances survive the journey unscathed? Or will the town's secrets explode outward, laying a path of destruction through the community and her relationship?
