In the well-heeled community of Brandywine Hunt, five teenagers navigate their personal angst. Allie's family is mired in depression and lassitude since her beloved older sister's death. Sasha is seemingly everything Allie is not—pretty, popular, and at ease with her sexuality—but effectively abandoned by her jet-setting mother. Julian, the son of a wealthy developer, is privileged and confident but desperate to live up to his father's legacy. His best friend, David, is a talented writer but is fighting off pressure from his dad to be the next Pete Sampras. And Kyle, who moved to town only two months ago under mysterious circumstances, is trying to hold it all together for himself and his newly-single mom.
The usual teenage dramas and rivalries turn into horror one night when four of them decide to play a trick on the fifth. While drinking and partying in the woods one summer night, they "pretend" to play a game of Russian Roulette with a handgun they have found buried nearby. The outcome is shocking—who put the bullet in the supposedly unloaded gun?—and they allow the world to believe it was a suicide.
When Allie returns twenty years later to attend the funeral of another of the participants in that unwitting crime, she dreads her encounter with the others. Although she has tried to put the events of that night behind her, they have haunted every aspect of her life. While she and the others never suffered any consequences for their actions, sometimes the ways we punish ourselves can prove worse than public censure. In the present, Allie is ready to come clean and face the music and to not only face, but reveal the truth of what really happened that night. As Allie digs to unearth the secrets of the past, she reaches a shocking conclusion she never saw coming and all the details of what really happened in past leads to a very present danger.
