Tyler Joseph just got caught being a typical dirty rockstar by someone who's never made a secret of his dislike for 'Twenty One Pilots'. There's only one thing he can do. Go beg for the witness to keep his otherwise unfiltered mouth shut. But Frank Iero isn't all he's led his fans to believe either. What if some vices are stronger and far more dangerous than random fangirls on their knees? 

"This shit you do is nothing, Tyler. You can walk away from nothing. You can go home, smile and kiss your wife like it never happened. But when you get caught up in something earth-shattering, you can never go home and if you do you can never be the same man. People wonder why I spend every second I can on the road? He taught me this is the only place I can be what I am."

This is the story about how small lies are sometimes necessary to hide bigger ones, How grand statements distract from simple truths and how the most unlikely of characters was chosen to know the most tightly kept secret in their world.

Tyler is convicted of a crime that he doesn't believe that he did, and the weirdest part, that no one will tell him what it is. All he knows is that earlier that day, he was with Josh in their woods, the woods that held their tree house, and now he was in a jailhouse wearing an orange jumpsuit and blood on his hands. He befriends a boy with honestly way too much eyeliner, a quiet boy who was in an illegal relationship with another officer, and more boys who have done awful things that Tyler would never dream of doing. There's one thing that's not right, however - Josh is missing. And Tyler can't find him. Until one faithful day, he turns up. And then he just disappears.
