Seventeen year-old Daphne Janus is surprised when her
parents agree to let her accompany her friend to a getaway
resort on an island off the coast of California. They
haven't let her out of their sight since last New Year's
Eve, when she could no longer stand the way they looked at her.
Her sister would still be alive if it weren't for Daphne.
Her friend, Cam, takes her to a mostly uninhabited island
with a wildlife preserve on one side and Chumash Indian
ruins on the “haunted” side. Daphne decides she will have
one last "hurrah" before she finishes what she started last
New Year's Eve. However, things seldom go as planned...
The resort is beautiful, the beach pristine, and the views
from the headland amazing. The only thing missing is the
boyfriend who left her when she could no longer love anyone.
Then strange things begin to happen on the island that soon
have Daphne running for her life. She eventually learns that
her parents have sent her for experimental "suicide
therapy," but when her horse bucks her off during a trail
ride and she becomes lost on the haunted side of the island,
she wonders if her parents have sent her there to help her
or to punish her.
