Olivia has always believed she knew who she was. Then she finds proof that the man she calls Dad shares no blood with her, and the neat story of her life cracks open. The one clue she has points back to Camp Lost Lake, where a string of murders happened the same night she was born, seventeen years ago. She was literally delivered into a crime scene. Reagan has been running from that same night her whole life. Her mother was accused of the Camp Lost Lake killings, and the two of them have been hiding from a public that already decided the verdict. Reagan knows her mother is innocent. She just needs evidence. When Camp Lost Lake reopens, both girls show up looking for the past. Olivia wants to know whose daughter she really is. Reagan wants to free her mother's name. What they find instead is that someone still has reasons to keep those old murders buried, and that person is willing to kill again to do it. The closer Olivia and Reagan get to the truth, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
