Lily moves to a new city with her father. She meets a girl from her new school named Abby. The two girls were like sisters, had so much in common and the same plans for the future. Abby gets Lily a job with her at a local record store. One day at work Lily got a vision, but wasn't sure what to think about it. Not knowing anything about her mother who died when she was three may be the key to the odd things that are starting to happen to her. The girls saved their money for their summer trip to Italy. The day after graduation the girls get on a plane for Venice to start their biggest summer of their lives. They arrive in Venice, make their way to the villa, their home for the summer, and get everything unpacked. On the walk back to the car a dark stranger comes out of the shadows and grabs Abby and another man appears, but not soon enough, the dark stranger disappears with her. Lily is left with the other man who introduces himself as Ayden. He offers to take her home and help her find her friend. Ayden tells her that the world as she knows it is not as it seems and that it won't be as easy as she thinks it will be to get her friend out of the caves.
