Sarah's a homicide detective. She is used to the harsh realities of life, sleepless nights, and the never-ending parade of sick, twisted individuals she deals with on a daily basis.

None of that compares to her childhood and the moment of fear she will never forget. A moment that cost her more than she realized.

Now, years later, children are disappearing from her hometown and the local police are baffled. She has to go home, she has to face down that old fear. Because only she knows where the children have gone, only she knows where to find the playground.
