Summer, 1999. Rachel Fiske is almost eighteen when she arrives at her aunt and uncle’s mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut. Her glamorous aunt is struggling to heal from an injury and Rachel wants to help. But her aunt is oddly spacey and her uncle is consumed with business and Rachel feels lonely and adrift, excluded from the world of adults and their secrets. The only bright spot is Claudia, a recent college graduate and the live-in babysitter for Rachel’s cousin. As summer deepens, Rachel hopes their friendship might grow into more. But when a tragic accident occurs, Rachel must make a pivotal choice. Caught between her desire to do the right thing and to protect her future, she’s the only one who knows what really happened and her decision has consequences far beyond what she could have predicted.
