Bookroo's summary

Alice and Caleb are among eight teens sent to a remote island for a week-long wilderness treatment program. On the first night a girl disappears from her cabin, then one of the adults falls sick and dies, and the radio turns out to be sabotaged. Cut off from help, the teens must decide whom to trust and track down a killer before anyone else is lost.

From the publisher

Eight teens are dropped off on a remote west-coast island for a week-long treatment program called INTRO (Into Nature to Renew Ourselves). The story is told by two of them: Alice, whose police-officer mother believes Alice might have a substance-abuse problem, and Caleb, who assaulted his abusive stepfather. They are joined by six other miscreants and three staff: a psychologist, a social worker and an ex-cop. On the first night, one of the girls disappears from her cabin. There is a panicked search of the island, but she is nowhere to be found. The adults seem oddly ineffectual in dealing with the crisis–and then the ex-cop gets sick and dies. The radio has been sabotaged, and there is no way to call for help. When the social worker also becomes ill, the kids decide to take matters into their own hands and track down the killer.
