The day the stranger shows up is when the trouble starts ... The sheriff and her deputy investigate the mysterious teenage girl. None of the locals can place her.

But while the girl is in protective custody, the officers are called to multiple crime scenes leading them closer and closer to a lake outside of town that doesn’t appear on any map.
