Cutter's Pass is the most dangerous town in North Carolina. At least, that's what outsiders think: As of April, seven people have disappeared in the mountain trails. In August, Trey West appears at the inn Abby has worked at for the past ten years. The brother of the most recent missing outsider (Landon West was a journalist who was visiting the town to investigate its mystery) is searching for answers, and Abby, still an outsider herself, gets swept up in his suspicions. It seems the locals know more than they ever let on, and there's one thing tying every disappearance together, but Abby is going to have to face her own history before the truth can be uncovered.
