When the news breaks that Evan Manchester, a local young man, has mysteriously vanished into the woods just five minutes from Daisy's street, life on her once-quiet block takes a dark turn. Those very woods, where Daisy-a high school student-rode her bike alone every day, now feel shrouded in mystery and fear.
Since Evan's disappearance, strange and unsettling things have begun to happen in the neighborhood. The police search the woods, but Evan is nowhere to be found. Strangely, Daisy sees him-or at least she thinks she does-catching glimpses of him in fleeting, eerie encounters that leave her doubting her own reality. Are they hallucinations, or is something far more sinister at play?
Juggling schoolwork and her part-time nanny job from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m., Daisy becomes drawn deeper into the tangled web of secrets that surround her. Even her seemingly close friend has hidden a life she never suspected, living in foster care with other children she calls family.
As Daisy digs into the mysteries of her neighborhood, she realizes that everyone is hiding something. Every house holds a secret, and Daisy is determined to uncover them-even if it means confronting the dangerous truths that lie just beneath the surface.
