Then the girls discover a brutal gang is about to murder an innocent family. The girls either risk exposing their own secret to the world, or they put themselves directly in the line of fire to rescue the family themselves.

On top of that, their parents secretly get together, share notes about the girls’ strange aversion to water, and start connecting the dots. Harrison finds himself in an impossible situation: he must choose whether to betray the girls a second time, or to betray their parents, his dearest friends.
