A sua irmã mais nova, Posey, está desesperada por despertar a própria sombra e tornar-se crepusculista, e Vince, o namorado, parece estar a esconder-lhe alguma coisa. Quando uma temível figura do passado reaparece, o precário equilíbrio que Charlie conseguiu manter parece prestes a desmoronar-se, arrastando-a para um turbilhão de mentiras e crimes.
