Homicide detective Casey Duncan has a dark secret: she killed a man in college. When her best friend Diana flees an abusive ex, Casey joins her in applying to Rockton, an isolated town that takes in people running from their pasts. But Casey's criminal history makes her an unlikely candidate - until Rockton suffers its first real murder. Now Casey must hunt a killer in this lawless refuge, even as she wonders if she and Diana have traded one danger for an even greater one.
