Caroline is only three months from her great escape - leaving behind her rigid prep school and the parents who think they can convert her to being straight - when her best friend, Madison, goes missing. There's no question that Caroline will get involved in the investigation. After all, she has her own reasons for not trusting the police, and she owes Madison big time. But Caroline uncovers a wider mystery as she follows the clues, with other missing girls and no one on the case. Why isn't anyone looking for these girls? And what's the connection between them and Madison? Could it be ... Caroline herself?
