En gribende og spændingsfyldt krimi om svigt og mørke familiehemmeligheder, fuld af twists og uventede drejninger. Efter sine forældres død har 17-årige Saffyre Maddox gået i terapi hos børnepsykologen Roan Fours. Da Roan efter tre års behandling vurderer, at Saffyre er klar til at komme videre, føler hun sig svigtet, og i ly af mørket begynder hun at udspionere Roan og hans familie for at bevare en forbindelse til ham. Over for familien Fours' hus bor Owen Pick. Han har aldrig haft en kæreste, bor på sin tantes gæsteværelse, og så er han for nylig blevet fyret fra sit job som lærer efter at være blevet beskyldt for seksuelt krænkende adfærd. Han benægter selv på det kraftigste, og da han en dag desperat søger efter professionel hjælp online, bliver han suget ind i internettets mørkeste afkroge. På valentinsdag forsvinder Saffyre – og det viser sig, at Owen var den sidste, der så hende i levende live. "Lisa Jewells Den usynlige pige skiller sig ud fra mængden.
