They're headed for Dear Lake, Michigan, a tiny town built around a modest resort that's been serving up peace and quiet for more than fifty years. Showing up is harder than it seems.

But when he arrives, the cabin they were meant to share is empty and Joshua is nowhere to be found. Is Ciro too late to fix what he's broken?
