Clea Walther was not an ordinary eighteen-year-old girl. She was different, and her life had never been perfect. Her only brother, Luca, thrives to protect her from the ordinary crash courses of life. When detective Scott Lancaster, a small town detective, knocks on their door early Wednesday morning, everything turns to dust when they arrest Luca for the murder of Clea's previous adoptive family in San Diego. Clea is broken as her only family is taken away from her. She turns to Luca's best friend, Ryan, for help, only to find him "missing." Will Clea find Ryan in time and rescue her brother? Or are the murders more twisted than she thought?
