When Abby steps onto the island where her fianc e, Eszter, died in a tragic accident, she encounters a rugged landscape forgotten by tourists and populated by only a small group of residents. Racked with grief, she struggles to understand why Eszter chose to visit this remote, run-down spot.

There, she befriends an alluring group of expats who remember Eszter well. One of them even texts to say he knows the truth about Eszter's final days--but before he can tell Abby more, he vanishes from the island.

As her quest for the truth unearths chilling secrets, shady pasts, and a web of lies, Abby grows more determined than ever to find out what happened to the woman she loved. And the deeper she gets in the close-knit expat community, the more she becomes convinced that one of them killed Eszter--and will do anything to keep the truth buried. But can Abby discover who it is before she becomes the island's next victim?
