My colleagues stand hushed around me, their eyes on me, confused, concerned.

On a hot summer’s day, the sleepy town of Mount Chester is thrown into turmoil when 17-year-old local girl Jenna goes missing. Within hours, the case takes an agonizing turn when her body is discovered in the isolated mountains. Detective Kay Sharp rushes to the scene, hiking for miles to the base of Wildfire Ridge.

Sixteen-year-old Julie is nowhere to be found.

Where her daughter had played Gretel in front of a cheering audience, only two faint stage lights remained.
