Then there's Cameron Frank tapped to host a podcast devoted to all things Violet who is determined to finally get his big break--even if he promised to land an exclusive interview with Sasha the one person who definitely doesn't want to talk to him.As the ten-year anniversary approaches the podcast picks up steam and Cameron's pursuit of Sasha becomes increasingly intrusive. He isn't the only one wondering what secrets she might be keeping: Quinn loyal to the aunt she always idolized is doing her own investigating. Meanwhile Sasha begins to experience an unsettling series of sleepwalking episodes and coincidences which all seem to lead back to Violet. Pushed to her emotional limits Sasha must finally confront the most painful truths about her sister and herself even at the risk of losing everything.
