Summer has come to Atlantic City but the boardwalk is empty of tourists, the casino lights have dimmed, and two Jane Does are laid out in the marshland behind the Sunset Motel, just west of town. Only one person even knows theyβre there.
Meanwhile, Clara, a young boardwalk psychic, struggles to attract clients for the tarot readings that pay her rent.

But Lily has her own demons to face. If they can put the pieces together in time, they may save another lost girlβso long as their efforts donβt attract perilous attention first. Can they break the ill-fated cycle, or will they join the other victims?
