Stuck at the lake in the middle of a Wisconsin winter, Drew and her younger sister and brother struggle to stay together after their manipulative, con artist mother dies, which they can only do if they can keep her death a secret.

Heidi Hill has been juggling shady side hustles for all of Drew's life, and Drew knows that when she's asked to do "one thing" it really means all the necessary things her mother thinks are boring. Which includes taking care of her fifteen-year-old sister and eight-year-old brother. When their mother disappears on the way to a New Year's Eve concert in Mexico and her schemes start unraveling, Drew is faced with a choice: Follow the rules, do the responsible thing, and walk away-- alone-- from her mother's mess. Or keep the cons going, and just maybe hold her family together. -- adapted from Goodreads info
