Summary:
David Beck and Elizabeth (Parker) Beck were childhood sweethearts; they met at summer camp at Lake Charmaine. Each year they celebrate the anniversary of their first kiss by returning to the summer camp and adding a notch to the tree where they first carved their initials so many years ago. On the night of their 13th kiss anniversary, their lives changed forever. That night, David was knocked unconscious and left for dead and Elizabeth was kidnapped, only to be found five days later, the victim of a serial killer.
Fast forward eight years, and a series of events leads David to question all he has known. Two bodies were recently discovered near the lake where David was assaulted and Elizabeth was kidnapped. The police suspect David may be involved in the murder of these two men, because his story about the night of Elizabeth’s disappearance just doesn’t add up. Earlier that same day, David receives an email that could have only come from Elizabeth. The coincidence is just too unnerving. Following the instructions in the email, David is taken to a website that links to a street-level camera, and for a brief second, he sees her – but it can’t be Elizabeth, can it?
With the help of his sister’s girlfriend, and an attorney, David attempts to fight the charges against him so that he can remain free to find out if Elizabeth is really still alive. His search pits him against the police, the FBI, and a couple of henchmen set on keeping him from learning the real truth.
