Description
Florida homicide detective Maggie Novak is called to investigate the charred remains of a young woman, which appears to be a Halloween prank gone wrong. However, as she delves deeper into the case, she uncovers a twenty-year-old secret that challenges her perception of the past. The body is formally identified as that of school counselor Dana Cullen, but a distinguishing mark suggests it may actually belong to Rita, who perished in a fire twenty years ago. Maggie's hunt for the truth behind the murder takes her back to a cruel high school trick she's desperate to forget. As another body turns up, Maggie realizes she too may be the target of a sinister plot that is creeping toward its final act. With emotional distance becoming increasingly difficult, Maggie must navigate her past mistakes and uncover the truth behind Rita's death. Will Maggie be able to uncover the truth of who wanted Rita dead? The outcome is far from certain in this gripping thriller that explores the dark consequences of secrets and lies.
