Lux is living with her boyfriend in Hawaii. When someone hires them to take them to a remote island they can't pass up the money. Turns out the island has a bad history. From death to disappearances it's got a bad reputation.
Brittany's whole family died in a tragic accident. She is mourning their loss with her friend Amma. Amma and Brittany met at grief counseling. Amma lost her boyfriend. They are traveling the world and grieving their losses.
When they get to the island Jake and Eliza are already there. Jake and Eliza have recently reconnected after a long separation. They're working on rekindling a romance that died many years ago.
There is not a single likeable character in the book. Every time that you start to cheer for someone a new dark secret comes out that makes them unlikeable again. Easily readable, but probably easily forgetable to.
