In Falls Landing, Florida - a place built of theme parks, swampy lakes and scorched bougainvillaea flowers - something sinister lurks in the deep. A gang of thirteen-year-old girls obsessively orbits around the local preacher's daughter, Sammy. She is mesmerising, older and in love with Eddie. But suddenly Sammy goes missing. Where is she? Watching from a distance, they edge even closer to discovering a dark secret about their fame-hungry town and the cruel cost of a ticket out. What they uncover will continue to haunt them for the rest of their lives.
