When Cameron Rensler's mother dies unexpectedly, his world is turned upside-down. Those who mean well tell him to move on, but closure is impossible for Cam. And for good reason. His mother has not moved on. She appears to him in her garden, in the kitchen, at his school-everywhere they shared memories.

Unable to keep the apparitions to himself, Cam confides in his close friend, Madison Blaylock. Despite Maddie's confidence, Cam's secret is spilled publicly, landing him in the psychiatric ward.

Years later, 15-year-old Cam faces another crisis. This time Maddie is the one showing signs of mental disturbance. Cam is asked to help her, forcing him to confront the dark memories of his own ordeal.

Maddie's story sparks a late night mission into the deepest recesses of Deadman's Trace, a mysterious place steeped in history where the dead keep secrets of their own. For Cam, it's a journey toward an unsettling truth about himself-and about what happened to his mother-that will turn his reality into his worst nightmare.
