Kacey is the new girl in Broken Falls. When she moved in with her father, she stepped into a brand-new life. A life with a stepbrother, a stepmother, and strangest of all, an adoring younger half sister. Kacey's new life is eerily charming compared with the wild highs and lows of the old one she lived with her volatile mother. And everyone is so nice in Broken Falls--she's even been welcomed into a tight new circle of friends. Which is why it's so odd when her closest friends, Bailey and Jade, start acting distant. And when they don't invite her to the biggest party of the year, it doesn't exactly feel like an accident. But Kacey will never be able to ask, because Bailey never makes it home from that party. Suddenly, Broken Falls doesn't seem so welcoming after all--especially once everyone starts looking to the new girl for answers.
Jako malé holky vykládaly lži, ze kterých se časem stala smrtelně nebezpečná pravda. Ve městě Fayette v Pensylvánii se tajemství minulosti ukrývají za každým rohem. Tessa se odstěhovala, když jí bylo devět. Snaží se nepřemýšlet o tom, co se tam tehdy stalo. Callie zůstala, jen se s rodiči přestěhovala do jiného domu. Vždycky bývala ta silnější, nebála se pohlédnout do tváře svým démonům a doufala, že když bude flámovat dost intenzivně, démoni prostě zmizí. Tessa a Callie se spolu nikdy nebavily o tom, co tenkrát v noci viděly. Po skončení soudního procesu se už nikdy neviděly. Nevolaly si ani nepsaly.
