description: Why live in the light when the night seems so irresistible?Rachel Durham 18 is tired of her father and stepmothers staid morality and pristine prosperity. The summer of her senior year shes more than ready for a walk on the wild side and the door opens - literally - when she and her eleven sisters and stepsisters discover a secret passageway out of their historic home on the Chesapeake Bay. At night boys in boats and a forbidden island beckon from the shore and Rachel and her sisters jump aboard. The night becomes Rachels true world and her daytime life becomes a disposable mask. Her puzzled father tries to tow his daughters back into line by enlisting the help of Paul a med student with a seasonal job juggling at the town festival. But Paul realizes that simply blocking the girls from their midnight parties isnt going to solve the familys problems. So he embarks on a risky balancing act to gain the girls trust  and to make Rachel see that splitting her life between night and light is a dangerous dance.
