Amanda Lewis, who lived in Boston, had always spent summers in Rangeville, Maine, with her paternal grandparents, who owned a working farm and inn. Amanda enjoyed her time at the summer camp, where she would reconnect with children that visited each year. Her best friend Toby Harper was an American Indian boy that lived in Rangeville all his life. The summer of 1955, Toby and Amanda realized their feelings for each other were becoming more than just friendship. However, Amanda didn't know it would be her last summer there, and a murder would directly affect her entire family. She returned to Maine after more than fifteen years away. She wanted to reconnect not only with her family and the town but especially with Toby. Amanda decided to reopen the unsolved murder that had affected her family back in 1955, not realizing she would uncover secrets among those she trusted, as well as bring danger to herself and those she loved.
