Mama by ma nikdy neopustila. Také je životné motto Mariah Dunningovej. Jej životný cieľ. Jej viera. Napriek tomu, že matka je už rok nezvestná. Jedného dňa sa Mariah v preplnenej reštauračnej zóne nákupného strediska pred očami zdanlivo mihne matkina postava. Mariah nadobudne presvedčenie, že ju naozaj videla. Alebo stráca súdnosť? Nepravdepodobná zhoda okolností? Po záhadnom zmiznutí Beth Dunningovej podozrenie padne na Mariahinho otca, hoci sa nenašlo telo ani fyzické stopy po vražednom čine. Mariah však natrafí na dve ďalšie nedávne zmiznutia žien v Lakehavene. Všetky tri ženy mali to isté meno: Beth. Zlovestné spojitosti? Mariah je s pomocou blogera Pátrača odhodlaná zistiť, čo sa stalo s jej matkou, a očistiť tak otcovo meno. Lenže pravda je ešte ohromujúcejšia, než si kedy predstavovala.
