\nLiz Rocher is coming home... reluctantly. As a Bl ack woman\, Liz doesn't exactly have fond memories of Johnstown\, Pennsylv ania\, a predominantly white town. But her best friend is getting married\ , so she braces herself for a weekend of awkward and passive-aggressive re unions. Liz has grown\, though\; she can handle whatever awaits her. But o n the day of the wedding\, somewhere between dancing and dessert\, the bri de&rsquo\;s daughter\, Caroline\, goes missing-and the only thing left beh ind is a piece of white fabric covered in blood. It&rsquo\;s taking.
\nAs a frantic search begins\, with the police combing the trees for Caro line\, Liz is the only one who notices a pattern: a summer night. A missin g girl. A party in the woods. She&rsquo\;s seen this before. Keisha Woodso n\, the only other Black girl in school\, walked into the woods with a mys terious man and was later found with her chest cavity ripped open and her heart missing. Liz shudders at the thought that it could have been her\, a nd now\, with Caroline missing\, it can't be a coincidence. As Liz starts to dig through the town&rsquo\;s history\, she uncovers a horrifying secre t about the place she once called home. Children have been going missing i n these woods for years. All of them Black. All of them girls.
