Just seven more months. Then Jamie Benson can leave this goodbye town behind her and start her new life in Chicago. She can leave this place of broken glass and cracked sidewalks and rusted fences. This place where nothing good ever comes from. She can leave the ghosts and spinning rooms and shattered promises in her rearview mirror and never look back.

But all the stories she’s been telling herself are threatened when, one night, while tending bar at her father’s hole-in-the-wall dive, she meets Collin—a boy who is good and honest and sincere in a world where everything is harsh and cold and detached. A boy who makes her feel safe. A boy worth staying for.

Will she be able to untangle the truths from the lies? Or will the sins of the past swallow her whole?

“Grief has a way of playing tricks with time.

Whole days spent in a fugue state. Whole lifetimes passing by in reverse. Infinities elapsing in seconds. Long lost in daydream reels of memory. Cycling through the stages in a dizzying whirlwind of emotions you couldn’t even begin to hope to see your way clear of. Jagged edges left at the seams.

It will leave you breathless.”

Skylar Medina is no stranger to loss.

The echoing void was something she’d thought she’d left behind when she met Michael. With his carefree laughter and all the light he brought into her life, Skylar thought she was on her way to getting everything she’d ever wanted — a family, a home.

When Michael is killed in a car accident, Skylar finds herself back in the pit again, haunted by ghosts and shadows in the pitch black inkiness.

A boy with a fractured past.

A girl losing to her own darkness.

What happens after the song ends? After you talk someone back from the edge?

That’s the journey Anthony Cusato embarks on one cold spring night when he finds a girl standing on the rooftop ledge of a downtown parking garage. From the suburbs of Detroit to the Grand Canyon on the open road of Route 66, Anthony searches for an answer.

Can one person truly save another?
