The only things I want to focus on this year are making new friends, starting fresh, and doing my school work. That means no dating and no complications... But there's Abel Ryan, the drummer for Poisonous Winter, and Tobias Washington, my charming and goofy roommate. Neither of them are a part of my plan, and I'm confused about my feelings for both of them. On top of all that, apparently, I'm adopted, and no one bothered to tell me. What the hell am I supposed to do with this information? Things are about to get very complicated.

2022 Watty Winner || At the age of ten, Sanford Crow discovers the worst secret of all--his father is a serial killer. It was the year 1969. Sanford's dream was to grow up to be a detective. Putting his intuitions to the test, he conducts an investigation into his father. The discovery he makes brings his whole world crashing down, and to the culmination of one terrible Christmas morning. Twenty five years later, it's 1994. Sanford is a divorced and a recovering alcoholic, with an eight-year-old daughter named Sadie. His dreams of becoming a detective never came to fruition. Instead, he lives vicariously through his job of being a crime scene cleaner. As therapy begins to open up doors to his past that he'd rather keep shut, the same string of murders that his father committed when he was a child are happening again all around him. Sanford starts questioning his grip on reality. The answers he finds brings his past rushing back, and has him doubting everything he thought he knew about himself, his past, and his own sanity.
