Desperate to escape the city - and the weight of a terrible mistake - Rebecca Angel moves to the small town of Redwood, a place where the teens harbor dark secrets of their own.
But Redwood isn't just another sleepy town. Rebecca soon discovers she has an unsettling gift: the ability to sense when someone is close to dying. Struggling to understand her newfound power, she's drawn even deeper into Redwood's mystery when she finds herself torn between two very different young men.
Alison Reyes, Rebecca's childhood best friend, has her own doubts about reality after developing a sudden - and inexplicable - interest with Timothy Langford, the school's notorious psycho. Once inseparable, Alison and Rebecca now find themselves keeping secrets from each other - secrets that could destroy their friendship.
Meanwhile, Brice Gutierrez is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his older sister, Lena. When he joins Rebecca on a dare to visit the infamous Death Lake, neither of them realizes just how much their lives are about to change.
Then there's Samantha Alvanos - a girl who's always felt like an outsider in her own family. Drawn to Rebecca for reasons she can't explain, Samantha believes Rebecca is the only person who can help her unravel the terrifying visions she's been having - visions of Redwood's tragic past and its even darker future.
As Rebecca is pulled deeper into the town's web of lies, disappearances, and supernatural forces, she begins to realize one thing for certain:
Redwood is far from the quiet, ordinary town she thought it was - and some secrets refuse to stay buried.
