New York psychologist Will Hardy had it all until the night it all ended in a tempest of fire and ash leaving only Will and his fifteen-year-old daughter Bernadette to stand in the ruins. Haunted and grief-stricken Will and Bernadette move to the small town of Abbeville Ohio to begin their lives anew. Meanwhile Abbeville Chief of Police Ivy Holgrave is investigating the death of a local girl convinced this may only be the latest in a long line of murders dating back decades. What place does Will's new home have in the story of the missing girls? And what links the killings to the diary of a young woman written over a century earlier? The disappearances in Abbeville have happened before and now Will's own daughter might be next.
