The hours and days that follow will leave both girls with unanswered questions and a friendship that will be put to the ultimate test.
Years later, Wren and Darra meet again at summer camp. They finally have the opportunity to learn the truth about that fateful day – if they can find the courage to reveal their long-hidden stories to each other.
