The year is 1987 and the sleepy town of Sandown Bay is waking up . . .
To its residents, Sandown is home - a tiny town in the western United States.
To everyone else, it's a minuscule island, that brings tourists in summer and not a lot else the rest of the time.
To Mona Perry, it's a mystery.
Thirty years ago, promising singer and Sandown resident Roxy Raines went missing, and was never found. The evidence doesn't add up, and people are still strangely reluctant to talk about it.
Mona is convinced something else is going on. Armed only with a suitcase and a microphone - to record her findings for the general public - this runaway teenager is determined to get to the bottom of the disappearance.
But as Mona gets drawn deeper and deeper into the strange goings on of this isolated little island community, it is clear that nothing is as it seem - not even Mona's own past.
Some things were meant to disappear . . .
