But Sierra doesn't come back when she said she would.
One day. Two days. Three . . .

When Taylor finally tells Sierra's mum that her daughter is missing, Taylor and her friends are thrown into a dark world they never even knew existed.
Can Taylor find Sierra's abductor in time? Or should she be looking for a killer?
