In the summer of 1978, Laney Hayes moves to the sleepy town of Hope with her mother and two stepfathers. Laney is excited to start high school, but she's also scared: her father, who is a successful criminal lawyer, abandoned the family years ago. Laney is sure that the town's small-town atmosphere will be too much for him to handle, but she's wrong. Her father is already in town, and he's not happy to see his daughter. Laney is also surprised to find out that her stepfathers - who she thought were her mother's husbands - are also criminals. Laney is starting to realize that her new home might not be as safe as she thought.

One night, Laney's stepfathers kidnap her and take her to a cabin in the forest. They tell her that they're going to make her a criminal like them, and that she needs to learn to be tough. Laney is scared; 8vo; FSA.
