Tatum Cassidy isn't one for drama, yet she can't seem to escape it. Her hometown of Stonson, North Carolina may be a small place, but there is nothing small about the secrets it holds. Every problem leads back to one point in her life; the day her beloved father never came home. She may have been just a child at the time of his disappearance, but she would soon grow to know more than the wisest of elders in her church as she learns whom she can and cannot trust. Everyone else may look the other way, but she will not. Luckily, neither will her childhood best friend, Cade Hampton. However, when someone very close to him becomes a suspect in her father's murder, Cade cannot help but hide his feelings for Tatum, halting their cherished friendship. The two grew apart with age, but never forgot each other. So when another innocent acquaintance of theirs becomes the second victim, they must work together and find her, despite their past.

Will they find their friend, or let the hidden suppressor take another life? Can they put their feelings away in order to keep their eyes on the target, or will their adolescent way of thinking cause them to lose sight of why they reconnected, leaving every question unanswered?
