Maxine F. Collins is forgotten.
James Roy Ellis is the golden boy.
'What good is a forgotten flower? A flower left in a field to get stepped on?
Sometimes... Sometimes you had to see the wilted ones, still standing strong but likely not for long, and pluck them yourself.'
Her senior year of high school, Maxine Collins goes missing, just as an anti-antibiotic super bug breaks out over the town. With the town distracted with assisting the victims of the super bug, the slowly increasing number of disappearing teenagers starts flying under radar.
Max is all on her own. Is she smart enough to find her way out of the hands of this unforgiving serial murderer? Why has he chosen her specifically?
In her attempt to escape, Max opens the pandora's box to a hidden past of not only the killer, but herself.
