Maya has no idea what you’re meant to find if you follow the light. Adventure? Destiny? But what if your destiny isn’t a good thing? Maya’s sister left to follow her light…and has been missing ever since. That’s how Maya finds herself on a surreal road trip with two people she barely knows, headed towards a ghost town where her sister was last seen. Unfortunately, the closer Maya gets to her sister…the closer she gets to her own pillar of light.
