Her best friend and boyfriend are gone, but she survived without a scratch. The seventeen-year-old knows this was no ordinary accident. Her family moves to Florida, hoping for a fresh start. Mara enrolls at a new school and finds herself drawn to Noah, the resident bad boy she swore she'd never fall for again. She believes her capacity for love died with her friends. She's wrong about that too. Strange deaths begin occurring around her. Bizarre incidents follow wherever she goes.
