Now, only three of us remained. It was supposed to be the perfect vacation: a secluded cabin by a private lake; late nights, wine and laughter. Megan hasn't had time for herself since her second child was born, and she knows her friends need a break too-Jenna from her demanding job, Charlotte from marital problems and Kaitlyn and Sam from busy families. Between all their commitments Megan was afraid this trip would never happen, and she needs the comfort and familiarity of her oldest friends now more than ever. They have known each other since college-there are no secrets between them. But things change in the woods. As they reminisce, bad memories as well as good are dragged up, and old wounds are reopened.
