A very smart 17 year old girl named Maddalend (Maddy for short) goes missing. Police are called when she doesn't show up to school or work. Police show up at her house to find Maddalend's father very hurt. Was Maddalend dead? Was she taken? The town goes haywire trying to figure out the case and where their dear Maddy could have gone. But time is running out. Or is it? Later Maddy's best friend finds out there's more to her life-long best friend than she ever knew.
