It’s 1973 and 15-year-old Beau Harper is being unceremoniously unloaded at Sego Lily Camp which, despite its beautiful and remote red-rock desert setting, feels juvenile and unoriginal. To his surprise, he spots someone he Claire Lucas, the new girl at his school, to whom he has never actually spoken. Brought together by an unfortunate mishap at camp, Beau and Claire find themselves leaving Sego Lily together sooner than expected, led by a man who is not what he seems. Far from making it home safe and sound, they end up somewhere unbelievable – transforming an unremarkable event into an intense and dangerous whirlwind of adventure which alters the remainder of both of their lives, and brings them right back to the edge of The Pit.
