Rae and her friends dive into the investigation of the missing boy and uncover hidden facts, things kept secret, and information about the disappearance that Rae wished she had never found out.
In "The Cover-Up", Rae takes a journey in an effort to find her friend that reveals to her how truly misleading information can be.
