In the novel, 12-year-old Robin Garr is overcome with guilt following the accidental death of her friend at summer camp. Her father Marcus relocates her to Boston, away from Robin's alcoholic mother, where he hopes she will be able to get proper psychiatric help. Their downstairs neighbor Dorothy Cotton quickly takes an interest in Robin, and Marcus is grateful when Dorothy agrees to look after his daughter while he is out of town. When he returns, he is shocked to discover that Dorothy has kidnapped Robin. Robin's parents discover that Dorothy's motives are not as pure as they initially seemed.[1][2][5]

DuCharme praised narrator Julie Finneran as having "the perfect haunting voice" for this novel.[3]
