Find the girl. Get her out. Bring her home. What could go wrong?

As a private investigator, Fin has built a successful career by reuniting families with their lost runaways. Then a stranger appears at his door with a cash-filled envelope and a newspaper clipping. The man's stepdaughter, sixteen-year-old Sarah Matthews, disappeared a year ago after emptying her mother's bank account, and allegedly torching her family home.

Now her stepfather wants Fin to find her, but everyone Fin approaches – from classmates to the police – is unwilling to talk about the missing girl, and independent witnesses with no incentive to lie are corroborating stories that can’t possibly be true.

As Fin fights to discover the truth, he finds himself sucked into an unforgiving world of violence and sexual obsession that becomes more deadly with each revelation.
