What if the key to finding a missing girl... was her phone?
When 17-year-old Mason Blake stumbles across a half-buried smartphone in the woods behind Ashridge High, he doesn't expect to find the name Zara Ainsley glowing on the cracked screen - the same girl who's been missing for eleven days.
The phone is still active. The messages haven't stopped. Someone's been texting her.
Someone who knows what happened.
With help from tech-savvy classmate Riley and the fiercely observant Nova, Mason dives into Zara's digital world: secret chats, blurred photos, hidden galleries... and a friend group full of lies.
As he pieces together the trail Zara left behind, he realizes someone is watching. Someone who doesn't want her to be found. And they'll do anything to keep the truth buried.
Because in the town of Ashridge, not everything lost is meant to be found.
