A moody mystery centered on a young woman's fragmented memory of a traumatic accident, unfolding across a privileged island setting where family secrets and romantic tension complicate the search for truth.

One year after a mysterious accident left her with amnesia, 17-year-old Cadence returns to Beechwood, an island off Martha's Vineyard, seeking answers. As three generations of the distinguished Sinclair family gather at their private summer utopia, no one will talk about the accident – neither her childhood friends "The Liars" nor her first love Gat, forcing her to uncover the truth herself.
