Somewhere between the sunsets and the beauty of the underwater world, Andi begins to question the mundanity of her life at home and whether she is capable of being the woman Hugh believes her to be. But how can you truly fall for someone when they think you are someone else?

Today, he is the detective who arrested Andrea. Ford is certain she’s guilty and he warns me off. But if he’s wrong the real killer is still walking free. As I begin to investigate, everything seems to lead me back to camp. How is Andrea’s case linked to the summer we shared, and to that other killing decades ago?
