It was supposed to be the best summer of her life. Instead, seventeen-year-old Lucy finds her best friend, Harper, shot dead in an LA swimming pool. How did things ever go so wrong?

This fast-paced story takes unexpected twists, unravelling the mystery of Harper's murder and exploring the complicated relationships among members of the band.
