Nothing burns as bright as the truth.

It has been ten years since Abby Williams, a successful environmental lawyer, left home for the modern apartments and one-night stands of Chicago. But when a new case takes her back home to Barrens, Indiana, the life Abby painstakingly created begins to crack. Tasked with investigating Optimal Plastics, the town's economic heart, Abby begins to find strange connections to Barrens's biggest scandal, involving her former classmate Kaycee Mitchell--just before Kaycee disappeared for good. And when Abby unearths a disturbing ritual called "The Game," it will threaten reputations and lives, exposing a darkness that may consume her.
