The summer escape to their family homes on a Vermont lake should have been a relaxing vacation for Julia, Erica, and David, three old friends and their respective families. But, when bones are found buried nearby it brings back memories of the two young girls who went missing 60, and 30 years ago. When the girlfriend of David disappears everything changes. Told from multiple viewpoints you start learning a lot about the many characters involved and what happened  60 years ago, 30, years ago and at the present time.  There are lots of secrets and lots of surprises and when childhood memories return and bits and pieces from the past are told or remembered decisions are made that will change the lake escape forever.
