A reason. A secret. A fear. A murder.

When popular Paxton vanishes, her boyfriend is the only one without an alibi. But he's not the only one with something to hide. Four others had every reason to want her gone. Now he's on trial, and Paxton's so-called friends are hiding secrets worth killing for.

As the investigation stalls, a girl who looks just like Paxton walks into town. As paranoia sets in, lies begin to unravel, and loyalties begin to crack. The group questions if she's there for justice, revenge, or something far more dangerous.

Someone knows what happened to Paxton. And they'll do anything to keep it buried.
