As teenagers, Laura and Freya were inseparable. Until the night Freya disappeared at a New Year's Eve party.
Ever since, Laura has tried to bury the past. But exactly two decades after Freya vanished, Laura wakes in her childhood bedroom. She is back in the body of her seventeen-year-old self. And it's the day of the disappearance again.
