June, 1969. It's been three years since the deadly summer that changed Dara Burke's life forever. Now in high school, Dara struggles with bad memories, but is determined to enjoy her last summer before senior year. Until her aunt drags her to Black Springs, West Virginia, to attend cousin Isobel's wedding.

But then disaster strikes when Isobel's fiance is found murdered in the deep woods. While the cops focus on Isobel, Dara knows there's more to the story.

Digging deeper, she begins to suspect that a terrible secret lurks beneath the surface of the seemingly idyllic mountain town. As the line between reality and nightmare blurs, Dara realizes that Black Springs is a place that holds the darkness close. Now, something stirs in that darkness . . . something evil.
