Citizens of Parsons Creek, North Carolina are stunned by the sudden disappearance of one of their own and haunted by the possibility a killer lives among them. Sarah Campbell vanishes during a weekend hike. Her twin sister Beth and her boyfriend Ryan Nelson fear the worst. Sarah’s grey scarf is all that’s found at Jefferson Peak. Her backpack is discovered 500 feet below the cliff’s edge–but there’s no sign of Sarah. Days later, park rangers find the mutilated body of a teenage girl near where Sarah disappeared. Detective Ozzie Baker follows the trail of the dead teen to a county jail in northeastern Tennessee, and eventually to a human trafficking ring. Young women are being bailed out of Appalachian county jails never to be heard from again. Has Sarah fallen victim to human traffickers, or has she simply fallen from sight?
