'You guys are wimps,' Estelle smirks, her dark hair fluttering in the cold breeze that stings our faces. 'Relax, won't you? After all... it's just murder.'

When five campers enroll into Camp Haven, their expectations for the summer couldn't be any farther from peaceful and fun. Estelle Blair is only attending the camp to get away from her family and gain some information on a few of the campers 'for fun'- but mostly because a few of the students are her father's business rivals' kids. She decides to find out everything she can about every camper- only to find that someone is already watching their every move.
Zariah Raven attended Camp Haven since five-six years old, like the others. She is also, an orphan. Given credit to actually choose her own name, blessed, and got adopted, blessed. But this year. Someone new got adopted. His name is Lloyd Casey. And he also attended camp. But the main reason Zariah is here. Is because she actually wanted to be there, to escape from her school's summer detention (probably).
Iclyn Oakley has been from place to place and can never completely settle down. She's finally getting together with all of her old friends again, however, so that's definitely a bonus.
Aleen Kayla Hamilton had been at camp haven for as long as she could remember, but this year would be different, main reason she's there this time is to 'have fun' and escape from school and family, meeting old friends as always an extra bonus.
A nice summer would have laid ahead of them if it weren't for the fact that someone just got murdered at camp...
