Harper Flynn knows someone is watching their coastal town. Her parents Catherine and Bud dismiss her theories as paranoia, but their open marriage is crumbling anyway. Her older sisters have their own problems. Abigail dates War Crime Wes, a man whose nickname says everything. Louise secretly writes to an online terrorist. When Harper's obsession with surveillance lands her a ticket to wilderness reform camp, she doubles down on investigating Paul Alabaster, the billionaire shipping magnate who casts a long shadow over their community. Everyone whispers about Alabaster's corruption, but nobody dares investigate. Harper does. Her fixation on a mysterious shipping container pulls her family into a criminal conspiracy that threatens to destroy them. The investigation might also be the only thing that can save the Flynns from themselves.
