Sarah is having a rotten summer. While her friends are having the time of their lives at Camp Wallhalla's Teen Scene Week, she is being forced to go camping with the meanest people on the face of the earth her parents. But Sarah has no idea she is about to experience a summer she will never forget. Confined in a camper with her parents, Sarah thinks her life stinks. Her fate turns, however, when she meets Cory Hamlin, a dreamy fellow camper who helps her discover that vacationing in the great outdoors is tons more fun than spending a week at camp. After four days at the lake swimming, canoeing, and falling head over heels for the blue-eyed boy in the tent next door, the disappointment of missing Teen Scene Week seems like a distant memory. Sarah's camping trip takes an unexpected, eerie turn, however, when a teenager suddenly disappears off a boat in the dark of the night. Suddenly Sarah knows more than she should.

Now it is up to her, with Cory's help, to gather evidence and decide who to trust before they can ever go to the police.
