Tia and Mike’s daughter, Jill, is friends with Yasmin Novak. He’s taken off, and his parents are desperate to find him. With the idea of stopping him, Mike tells Adam that they’re going to a hockey game with, but Adam doesn’t show up. One e-mail on Adam’s computer is talking about a party, a party that Mike and Tia do not want Adam attending. Stay quiet? Why? What’s going on? They decide they have to do something. The cryptic message – “just stay quiet an all safe” – is alarming to both, Tia and Mike. Tia prints out the report from Adam’s computer and goes through it.

Would the lack of trust tear their family apart? Mike is uneasy with this decision, for they are invading their son’s privacy. Something’s wrong, and Tia convinces Mike to have software installed on Adam’s computer so that they can try to figure out what’s wrong.

Since the death of their son’s best friend, Spencer, Adam has become withdrawn.

Review: Hold tight to what? (enter sarcasm here) Within days, a cryptic message – “Just stay quiet and all safe” – draws them into a maze of mayhem and violence that could destroy them all…. The software they install on his computer shows them every Web site visited, every e-mail sent or received, every instant message. With those words, Mike and Tia Baye decided to spy on their sixteen-year-old son, Adam, who has become increasingly moody and withdrawn since the suicide of his best friend.
