This book follows the story of Marcella Thompson, a woman drowning in grief that always seems to be caused by rain. Her mother and father passed away in a plane crash caused by a thunderstorm. Her soul brother, Jackson, died in a car crash caused by rainy, slick roads and a brake malfunction. God, it's always the rain. She reconnects with Jackson's childhood friend, Eli, who somehow turns up at the grave the same night she does. And then a shot rings out. They run, even though neither of them fired a gun. Throughout this book, they become magnets for trouble, which leads to suspicion. Will they push through this, or both die in the rain like the people they loved?
