Living in Amontillado means knowing everyone. Knowing if someone comes from money or has a famous last name or has nothing. Tress Montor used to be identified by her last name. It meant money and power, but then her parents mysteriously disappeared leaving her to live with her drunken uncle. Helping him hold together his crazy, roadside zoo filled with exotic animals wasn't exactly how Tress pictured her life was going to be.
Felicity Turnado has the name and the money and the concerned parents. True, maybe they are more concerned about keeping family secrets than really connecting with the community and making a difference, but looks are everything, you know.
Tress and Felicity used to be best friends. There were summer days at the local pool, sleepovers, and birthday parties, and even a friendship necklace each promised to never take off. That was until the day of Tress's sleepover. Late that night Felicity insisted she needed to go home so Mr. and Mrs. Mondor gathered her and her things into their car. Shortly after they left to take Felicity home, she was left wet and unconscious on the bank the river, and Tress's parents were nowhere to be found.
Tress is tired of living at the White Trash Zoo not knowing what happened to her parents so she has decided to force Felicity to reveal the truth or else. Will she learn what happened or will she learn there are more secrets than ever before?
