Lyle Cooper is living her best life. New friends, a beach front home, and a man she's head over heels in love with. Michael Miller has made good on his promise and moved her to Bonaire Island. She spends her peaceful days as the curator of a gift shop on the main street and begins to nurture relationships with the local population. But dream as she will, her life is never dull. When Lyle's shop remains dark and the door locked, people begin to worry. Assembling Captain Maartin, Michael and Grey, Dutch organizes a search for the missing woman. But with few clues for the chief of police to go on, it seems the island itself has swallowed her whole. When Lyle awakens trapped in a dark space, she realizes that one new acquaintance was only a snake in the grass. As days pass with no food or water, she turns to an old buddy for comfort. But how can Dottie get her out of this mess? As Lyle grows more desperate, she believes her only chance for survival is to throw herself deeper into danger. Will Michael find her before it's too late?
