Lodge, Gytha
One night during the scorching summer of 1983
a group of teenagers go camping in the forest. The evening starts like any other--they drink
they dance
they fight
they kiss. Some of them slip off into the woods in pairs
others are left jealous and heartbroken. But in the morning
the youngest in the group
Aurora
has disappeared. Her friends claim that she was safe the last time they saw her
right before she went to sleep. An exhaustive investigation is launched but no trace of the teenager is found. The search is eventually called off. Thirty years later Aurora's body is unearthed and Jonah Sheens is the detective put in charge of solving the long-cold case. Back in 1983
he had played a part in the search as a young cop
and their small-town community meant he had known the teenagers--including Aurora--personally. Now
he's determined to finally get to the truth of what happened that night. His investigation brings the members of the camping party back to the forest
where they will be confronted once again with the events of that night--events that left one of them dead
and all of them profoundly and forever changed.
