In August 1975, thirteen-year-old Barbara Van Laar vanishes from her bunk at her family’s Adirondack summer camp. The Van Laars own the camp and employ most of the nearby residents, but their wealth and power can’t shield them from tragedy—this isn’t the first time a child has gone missing. Fourteen years earlier, Barbara’s older brother disappeared without a trace.
As search parties comb the woods, long-buried secrets surface. The Van Laars’ carefully crafted facade begins to crumble, and tensions flare between the family and the blue-collar workers tied to them. With every revelation, the line between victim and perpetrator blurs.
Richly layered and suspenseful, this gripping drama of privilege, loss, and betrayal reveals the truth behind the disappearances—and asks if some secrets are better left buried.
