Description by Author:
When a girl goes missing, and none of the
adults can give a straight answer, a childhood game suddenly turns into a real,
secret mission.
Phone lines are down. Strange men roam the
campgrounds. Financial documents indicate something’s amiss. And hidden
security cameras point to a mysterious cottage in the woods.
With heightened suspicions, junior camp
counselors Marcus and Alissa recruit their friends to help find the missing
girl. In their search, the teens will learn to rely on each other, especially
when they encounter a terrible and dangerous secret.
