Callie has given up on school and swim team and started smoking marijuana since her sister died. Her parents aren’t doing much better and in an effort to make things better they offer her a summer at wilderness camp or visiting and helping her aunt fix up her house. Choosing her aunt’s house means reliving her sister’s death as it happened the previous summer while both sisters were visiting. Callie is desperate for some kind of closure — would her sister ever forgive her for her betrayal? Callie senses ghosts in the house and hopes to connect with her sister’s spirit. Along the way, she connects to a boy her aunt has hired to work on the yard and discovers that he is looking for his own answers.
