Všichni z Wakarusy si pamatují dávný případ January Jacobsové. Margot bylo tenkrát šest, stejně jako January. Už dávno žije jinde a je novinářkou, ale vždy ji pronásledoval strach, že místo ní mohla zemřít ona. Když se vydá domů, aby pomohla s péčí o strýce, je to jako návrat v čase. Wakarusa zůstala stejná: dusivá a tajnůstkářská. A pak za děsivě podobných okolností zmizí pětiletá Natalie z vedlejšího města. Všechny staré pocity se Margot vracejí a ona si přísahá, že holčičku najde a zjistí, co se před lety stalo. Jenže se zdá, že policie, rodina i zdejší obyvatelé něco skrývají. A čím hlouběji Margot pátrá, tím naráží na větší odpor. Ale o to větší je také její odhodlání konečně zjistit pravdu.
