Anastasia Malik had high expectations for her senior year school trip. How could she not? They were going to Krabi, Thailand- one of the greatest tourist attractions in South East Asia, and as soon as she heard the news, she packed up her bright pink bag for two weeks of beaches, scuba diving, and shopping! What she didn't expect was to lose her bag at the Brunei airport during the connecting flight, getting her purse AND her room key pick pocketed by a seemingly harmless man in a trench coat or watching her friends party it out at the Railay beach while she stayed bedridden with the flu.
Oh, and she didn't expect for something to follow her back from Krabi either, but that's life for Ana.
Struggling to make sense of the weird occurrences that have been happening ever since they got back from Thailand, Ana and her friends must try to solve the mystery behind the perfidious events before someone else gets hurt. Or worse.
