Three friends. One much-needed getaway. Who could have expected it to end in murder...

When her husband Harry walks out after just six months, a girls' weekend away with two friends seems like just what Sam needs.

But they aren't even halfway to their destination when things start to go wrong—car trouble that just happens to leave them stranded in the town where Harry lives.

And that's only the beginning.

Because there are three things Sam doesn't yet know:

One of her friends is lying about what happened.
One is lying about who she is.
And one of them will never make it home...
