In Avaxs dreams her son Noah looks just the way she remembers him a sweet two-year-old in rolled-up jeans and a red sweatshirt When Ava wakes the agonizing truth hits her all over again Noah went missing two years ago and his body has never been found Almost everyone including Avaxs semi-estranged husband Wyatt assumes the boy drowned after falling off the dock near their Church Island home Ava has spent most of the past two years in and out of Seattle mental institutions shattered by grief and unable to recall the details of Noahxs disappearance Now shexs back at Neptunexs Gate the family estate she once intended to restore to its former grandeur Slowly her strength is returning But as Avaxs mind comes back into focus her suspicions grow Despite their apparent concern Ava canxt shake the feeling that her family and her psychologist know more than theyxre saying But are they really worried for her well-being x or anxious about what she might discover Unwilling to trust those around her Ava secretly visits a hypnotist to try and restore her memories But the strange visions and night terrors keep getting worse Ava is sure shexs heard Noah crying in the nursery and glimpsed him walking near the dock Is she losing her mind or is Noah still alive Ava wonxt stop until she gets answers but the truth is more dangerous than she can imagine And the price may be more than she ever thought to payx.
