Desperate to escape suffocating expectations and menacing families, seventeen-year-old Maude and her step-cousin Frankie fake their own deaths while on a family vacation in Hawaii, with deadly consequences.

After years of research, Maude has decided to fake her own death. She's figured out the how, the when, the where, and who will help her unsuspectingly. The why is complex: revenge, partly. Her parents deserve this, and she is planning a new life where she will be tied to no one, free and adrift. Then Frankie, a step-cousin she barely knows, figures out what Maude is plotting. The plan seems like it's ruined-- except Frankie wants in. The girls risked everything for a new and limitless life, but there are some things you can never run away from. -- adapted from jacket
