      Když Leah Stevensová přijde o prestižní post reportérky bostonských novin i o svou dobrou pověst, nastanou jí těžké časy. Nevinné setkání s bývalou spolubydlící Emmy Greyovou však skončí dost překvapivě: obě mladé ženy se rozhodnou přestěhovat do malého městečka s nadějí, že se jim podaří nechat minulost za sebou. Brzy po nastěhování však dojde k tragické události: je nalezena mrtvá žena, která se Lee až neuvěřitelně podobá, a Emmy zmizí. Policie však po ní nenalézá jedinou stopu – ani její známé, ani e-mailovou korespondenci nebo úřední dokumenty. Když Leah začíná po Emmy v jejich společně pronajatém domku pátrat na vlastní pěst, zjišťuje, jak málo toho o své přítelkyni ve skutečnosti věděla. Je možné, že žádná Emmy Greyová nikdy neexistovala? Během pátrání začíná Leah také čím dál víc pochybovat o pohnutkách lidí kolem sebe. Komu může věřit? Jaké jsou ve skutečnosti motivy pohledného mladého detektiva, Leiných kolegů ze školy nebo jejích dospívajících studentů? Leah se při pátrání po zmizelé musí postavit nejen svým starým démonům, ale vypořádat se i s tajemstvími lidí z městečka. V tomhle podivném případu jako by měl každý co skrývat, a platí to i pro samotnou vypravěčku...
