Publisher's summary

This novel was named a finalist in the 2022 Next Generation Indie Book Awards for the 17 years and up, Young Adult/New Adult category!

Additionally, Indie Reader calls it: a well-structured novella with an engrossing opening and chock-full of twists and turns. R.L. Greene has written with such energy and heart and the nuanced lessons along the chapters culminate in such a rewarding reading experience.

Superstar high school quarterback Brian Hollingsworth might have it all, but he wants none of it. Best friend Dylan is a badass who believes he runs the world - and for the most part - he pretty much does. Randy is a bad boy looking to establish his reputation. Stewart is just a loser turned about by the breeze.

A lonely, manipulative boy accidentally brings these four disparate teens together in the woods. Fists fly. Revenge escalates. Twenty-four hours later, one is clinging to life. Another has stolen a gun. A coward is on the run and someone
is on the hunt. With souls teetering on the edge of tragedy, one-by-one, enemies realize that in order to save themselves they must first save each other.

A powerful story about loss and forgiveness, rage and redemption, told from different perspectives and with a whole lot of heart.
