Story
In the long, hot summer of 1995, 22-year-old Alice Lang rents a caravan on a holiday park on the outskirts of the lively holiday resort of Severn Sands. She befriends Marnie, a shy, damaged little girl whose father is the park's caretaker and whose mother died a few months earlier. Will, whose mother runs the bar, falls in love with Alice and is unbearably jealous of anyone else she sees. Tensions rise until one evening Alice disappears from her caravan. She's never seen again, and only her scarlet dress is found washed up on the shore.

Story
Quando a settembre riapre la scuola, il liceo Tommaseo viene travolto da una scoperta che lascia tutti senza fiato: quattro ragazzi, gli unici maschi della quinta C, sono spariti. Erano in vacanza in Grecia, ma dal 22 luglio nessuno sa più niente di loro. E mentre un funzionario della Farnesina viene incaricato di assistere i genitori nel tentativo di capire cosa sia successo, uno dei quattro torna a casa, illeso ma chiuso in un mutismo inattaccabile. Fra di loro c'era un patto, e romperlo significherebbe tradire la fiducia degli altri.
