Autorka cestovateľských článkov Lee Smithová prežíva po návrate do Kanady z luxusnej plavby po Karibiku nemilé prekvapenie. Nečakane sa jej na displeji mobilu objaví správa od najlepšieho priateľa, multimilionára Jacka Hughesa: „Niekto sa ma pokúsil zabiť.“ O tri hodiny Lee stojí pri Jackovej nemocničnej posteli neďaleko svojho domova v nádhernej oblasti Muskoke v Ontariu. Jack nežartoval, niekto ho naozaj chcel prejsť autom. A čo je ešte horšie, stalo sa to v areáli prestížnej strednej školy v Berkshire pri jazere Joseph, kde sa Jack a Lee kedysi zoznámili. Pred dvadsiatimi rokmi berkshirská železná brána a hrubé múry možno ochránili Lee pred mediálnym besnením okolo senzačného súdneho procesu s jej otcom, no zároveň ju uväznili v jej vlastnom väzení. Napriek detailne prepracovanému príbehu, ktorý si vymyslela na zatajenie svojej identity, spolužiačky prišli na to, kto v skutočnosti je, a nemilosrdne ju šikanovali. Emocionálne jazvy sa dosiaľ nezahojili. Hrubé školské múry neochránili ani súčasnú študentku. Sedemnásťročná Kayla vypadla z okna veže a zabila sa. Vyskočila alebo ju niekto sotil? Lee by radšej ušla na opačný koniec sveta, než by sa vrátila do Berkshire, ale Jack potrebuje pomoc. A možno je už načase vyrovnať sa s traumou z mladosti. Lenže vyzerá to tak, že Lee by mohla byť ďalšou obeťou.
