December 31st, 2011. I messed up. I need you to find me, Laine. Help me. Hurry. I'm scared. They're coming. I don't want to die. Please. "Calvin," I whisper, tears falling uncontrollably as I collapse to the floor of the dusty pool shed. Calvin Brady was murdered on December 31st, 2011. The police think it was a suicide, but Laine knows he was murdered. She saw the person leaving the shed. Unable to let the murderer of her best friend go, Laine takes matters into her own hands to find out who shot and killed Calvin. Is it the handsome new kid, Harrison? Is it one of her own close friends, Ella, Charlie, Irene, Shawn, Angie? Was it her boyfriend Mitchell? Maybe Laine is looking in all the wrong places. The answer to who done it just might be in plain sight.

Ivy Lynch has been babysitting practically her whole life. She is known around town, getting job offer after job offer. It pays. This summer, she receives an offer to be a full-time nanny for the Kennedy family while the mom goes on a mission trip to Haiti. Unable to turn down the job due to the promised payment, Ivy agrees to spend her summer living with the Kennedy family. That includes oldest son, Elliott, the rebellious boy from Ivy's high school whose mom doesn't trust him enough to take care of his siblings for three months. A lot can change in three months.
