All Maya Woods wants is to reunite her three best friends, Pearl, Erica, and Lystra, for one last epic boat trip to the islands around their Caribbean home before they all graduate from high school. But the girls are forced to make an emergency landing on Annatto--an island avoided by locals and tourists alike because of the rumors of monsters and shadows that lurk in its depths--and the girls' yearly tradition descends into darkness when Erica turns up dead. The girls have no choice but to leave her body behind. As their tight-knit community spirals into grief and suspicion, Maya and her friends struggle to understand what happened on the island: Was it simply an accident, or is there truth to the rumors about Annatto?
