When Sasha disappears, Ellen fears the worst. Then long-buried secrets
resurface, Ellen realizes she may not know Sasha -- or what she's
capable of -- at all.
2005: 17 year old Ellen falls under the spell of glamorous newcomer,
Sasha. As Ellen is welcomed into Sasha's family, she doesn't see the
darkness that lies beneath their musical, bohemian lifestyle. At a New
Year's Eve party, events come to a dramatic head, resulting in a court
case (in which Ellen is a key witness) that means family life at the
Corner House will never be the same again.
2018: Now 30, Ellen and Sasha are still entwined in each other's
lives and sharing a flat in London. When Sasha disappears, Ellen fears
the worst. She has gone missing like this before and the police won't
take it seriously, but long-buried events in their shared past mean that
Ellen has good reason to be frightened - not only for Sasha, but also
for herself. Finding out the truth about what really happened on New
Year's Eve twelve years ago puts Ellen in terrible danger, and forces
her to confront not only the past, but how well she really knows her
best friend.
