When Abby steps onto the island where her fiancée, Eszter, died in a tragic accident, she encounters a rugged landscape forgotten by tourists and populated by only a small group of residents. Racked with grief, she struggles to understand why Eszter chose to visit this remote, run-down spot.

There, she befriends an alluring group of expats who remember Eszter well. One of them even texts to say he knows the truth about Eszter’s final days—but before he can tell Abby more, he vanishes from the island.

As her quest for the truth unearths chilling secrets, shady pasts, and a web of lies, Abby grows more determined than ever to find out what happened to the woman she loved. And the deeper she gets in the close-knit expat community, the more she becomes convinced that one of them killed Eszter—and will do anything to keep the truth buried. But can Abby discover who it is before she becomes the island’s next victim?
