Sixteen-year-old Nicki is sent to stay at her grandfather's cabin near the town of Punishment in the Mendocino Forest. As always, she hides her burn scars and keeps quiet about the mother who ran out on her. But soon after arriving, she begins to suspect Grandpa is also keeping secrets. Her exile brings an unexpected bright spot-Grandpa's German shepherd, Queenie. The hunky neighbor boy's another plus, though she quickly starts to doubt his honesty. From secret pot farms to human trafficking, Nicki discovers nothing in the 'Mendo' is what it seems. When Grandpa takes off and the lives of new friends are endangered, Nicki must decide how far she's willing to go to protect those she cares about. Before summer ends, Nicki will learn there are some choices she can't undo. It's a good thing Grandpa taught her how to shoot.
