Jennifer and her best friends spend every summer at Big Cypress Swamp, and this summer, she will finally turn eleven. She hopes to gain the “second sight” foretold by family legend and to fulfill her destiny. Instead, the swamp serves up dangers greater than the gators lurking on Halfway Creek. A young local girl named Francie Farrow vanishes, and Jennifer’s father goes to prison.

​

Twenty years later, Jennifer has almost shed the label of Paul Jones’s daughter when her past comes barreling back. Inspired by True Events, a TV series that solves the unsolvable, is recreating that fateful summer. As the series plays out, Jennifer wonders: Did the show finally find Francie Farrow? And is Jennifer’s father truly guilty?

​

Before the final episode can air and give Jennifer her answers, one of those long-ago, summertime friends returns, and she’s looking for revenge. 

​

In a thriller that examines the hefty influence of the media on our lives and tackles the scarce nature of empathy, Jennifer’s only hope to protect herself and her family is to come to terms with who her father is . . .

 

and what that means for her.
