Meagan and Corinna have been best friends from first grade through high school, but after that one terrifying night, that friendship is tested by a horrible secret. They’ve drifted apart in the years since graduation, but when Corinna calls in a panic, Meagan knows she has to go to her, even if it is half-way across the country. Together, they have to confront that secret and battle with its consequences. Life will never be the same for either of them.
