Early retirement is supposed to be a good thing. For Blakely Moore, not so much. After twenty-five years of marriage, her wife moved on to a younger model, leaving Blakely alone to figure out what comes next. Deciding to spend the summer at a campground in a twenty-nine-foot trailer with her dog, Mabel and her best friends Steph, Myra and Jen, she finds that even though she physically left her criminal profiler position at the Rochester police department, she's still performing the job in her personal life.

Someone is stalking the seasonal campers at the campground, and the focus seems to be on Steph. When Blakely's old, revolting mentor from the Ithaca Police Department buys the campground, she thinks she made a poor decision. But she can't leave her friends alone to deal with a stalker and the new owner of Rock Creek Campground, whose managerial style is less than adequate. Soon, the police find a dead woman at the bottom of a gorge, throwing Blakely back to her first day as a cop. A policewoman in training, she found herself on the scene of a young woman's demise from a fall of over one hundred feet. The death eventually became a cold case, and it haunted her for the rest of her life, because the young woman dead on the bottom of the gorge was the woman she loved. Eventually, she left Ithaca to find a new life and a new job in Rochester, NY.

But with another woman dead, the similarities are too much and she realizes she has to see this through or she'll never be at peace. And with a stalker too close to her friend Steph, the feeling of having to protect her is more than that of a friend.

Could it be because she's beginning to look at Steph in a different way? The only answer she has is that everything happens for a reason, but damn if she knows what the reason is.
