Two decades after leaving Amsterdam with a broken leg and a shattered spirit, Meg keeps her life small, pushing away memories of the terrible thing she and her best friend Lydia did in college. But when Lydia pops back into Meg's life with an alarming message that their former professor has died and his spirit is tormenting her, Meg takes it as a sign to finally attend to her unfinished business, and returns to Amsterdam.
Upon Meg's arrival, however, Lydia is nowhere to be found.
An unsettling scene in Lydia's empty apartment points to her abduction or even murder. If Meg wants to put her past to rest, she needs to find Lydia, but every step she takes to discover what happened brings her closer to a danger she never wanted to face again.
