Zara White just lost her father. Since his death, she hasn't been the same. All her bubbly, exciting. happy, and wonderful energy, now gone and replaced with a cold, sad, silent depression. Her mother just doesn't know what to do so she sends Zara off for a change of atmosphere, to Maine. Everything is so cold and white, depressing even, but Zara finds herself with new friends, two surprisingly cute boy toys, and...a stalker. Zara must deal with the impossible as she and her friends dig deeper into finding who is following her and why there has been a strange string of young male disappearances around town.
