About this book

A high school prom takes place on a luxurious cruiser on the lake for the first time. Sisters Amy and Iris attend as chaperones, watching their sons dress up for the occasion. The night is meant to be one of celebration and promise. Then the boat sinks. As darkness falls and air runs out, buried secrets surface. Trapped beneath the lake, one sister faces an impossible choice: sacrifice her own son or let her nephew and twenty-one other teenagers drown. One year later, a girl wakes from a coma, ready to reveal what truly happened at the bottom of the lake. Someone is determined to silence her—permanently. This novel explores small-town secrets, lies, and betrayal, centered on the aftermath of the disaster and the truths that emerge.
