The lake holds secrets. All eighteen-year-old Ginnie Paxton wants is for her London summer to begin, three weeks of freedom while her father's away at a conference, and Leo to notice her. Instead, her grandmother has a heart attack, and Ginnie's life is sent hurling across the Atlantic to Northern Michigan where there's nothing to do except hike the trails, take a dip in the lake, and oh, find a dead body. Ginnie already feels out of place and misses her friends and life back in London. The last thing she wants is to be drawn into a mystery by the ghost of the missing girl. As Ginnie starts to investigate the circumstances of the girl's disappearance, she discovers a tribal curse on the land and an unknown connection to that tribe. This connection puts her in a dangerous situation. Now she must race against time to find out what happened to the girl and uncover the secrets so many people seem to be keeping. But the ghost is becoming desperate, and Ginnie realizes too late that there is a high price for discovering the truth.
