Kristy Duncan has a secret-a burning secret. Eighteen-year-old Kristy has a happy life with her foster parents and close friends at school, but she is not safe from the horrors of her past. She can't remember her birth mother or receiving the severe burns across her chest, but as her nightmares grow worse, her trauma-induced amnesia begins to clear, and she slowly remembers the apocalyptic suicide cult deep in the Everglades. As Kristy's friends and acquaintances begin to meet strange and horrible deaths by fire, Kristy learns that the homicidal cult leader has returned-from beyond the grave-to claim his last remaining child.
