Rookie cop Laura Mori catches her first investigation when the fiery crash of a sports car lights up the night sky. The fire burns the body beyond recognition, but the police are able to identify the car as that of Kent Jameson, celebrity author and benefactor of Sunrise Lake. When lab reports reveal that the body was not Kent’s daughter Lucy, but a teen runaway named Kyra whose disappearance has been linked with other missing persons, the investigation takes a drastic turn. Just when Laura is making progress in the case, she comes across a suspicious lane in the forest that uncovers new evidence that once again will alter the course of the investigation and rock Sunrise Lake to its core.
