Ashley is not a typical teenage girl. She's different from the others, in a way that a few would understand. From the outside, she's a pretty 16 year-old girl who enjoys staying home and spending time with her Dad. For her, making and keeping real friends is a tough job. It probably has something to do with her Mom, who she believes left her for another guy. Living with serious trust issues really makes life harder for her.
Her nights consist of one particular dream that never gets old. This dream convinced her to find out more about the mysterious disappearance of her Mom. Or, is it really "mysterious"?
When Jane Madarang's neighbor Natalie kills herself and leaves behind cryptic instructions, it's up to Jane and her classmates to unearth deadly secrets.
