Sophia dismissed this as gossip . . . until Layla disappeared. Now, Sophia must study the trail of clues Layla has left behind, returning to the very place where it all began.

When the fictional world of The Grove crashes into Faith's reality as the show relocates to her town, she can't believe it when TV heroine Dakota Ash takes a romantic interest in her.
