Fourteen-year-old Lucy Martinez is taking a road trip with her older brother, Jamie, and his friend, Kit. They're on their way to Arizona, to visit Lucy's father. But they never make it. During a blinding rainstorm, their car hits something. At first, they think it's an animal - until they discover the body of a girl. What happens when three teenagers can no longer pretend innocence?
