Struck by a series of panic attacks and nightmares of being pursued through a forest, Jewel's world begins to spiral out of control. Uncovering a sister she didn't know existed, she becomes obsessed with finding out what else she may have forgotten. As Jewel uncovers scraps of memory and hints of trauma lurking in her past, she unwittingly alienates those closest to her.

She believes that in order to fix everything that is wrong in her life, she must go back to the island and face her secret past. Little does she realise that the bogeyman of her childhood nightmares is waiting for her. Once again, just as she did sixteen years ago, Jewel will be forced into a fight for her life.
