Laura, Rosie, Joe, and Gabe have been friends their whole lives, growing up as neighbors on Deer Hill Lane. Laura’s life changed the night her boyfriend was brutally murdered and questions still remain about Laura’s role in his death. She never seems to be able to escape her past, even with the help of a compassionate psychologist. When her latest lover dumps her via text, she returns home to her sister, brother-in-law, and nephew to find solace and to pick up the pieces of her life. She starts anew by planning a date via an online dating site. She heads out on her blind date filled with mild trepidation and a dose of self-loathing, but remains hopeful, bolstered by her family and friends. When she doesn’t return from the date, however, her family scrambles to figure out who she met and what happened to keep her from coming home. Nothing is as it seems. Did something happen to Laura? Or did Laura happen to someone else?
