Haunted by a blackout on a fateful night ten years ago, that's when Melanie vanished. Now, returning to Hawk Island for a wedding, the protagonist must navigate a storm both literal and metaphorical, a reunion with a privileged class they'd never fit into, and a brother harboring hatred. Secrets lethal enough to kill for begin to unravel, and as the island cuts off from help, the truth about all the pretty people emerges, bringing the protagonist face-to-face with a past that could claim their future too.
