Ethan Rodes has just lost his childhood best friend to a deadly car accident in the middle of their junior year of high school, and everyone in his small woodsy hometown of Greenline knows. No one understands how to treat him in the wake of this tragedy, until he meets the mysterious kid-next-door, Isaac Kingsley, who has been homeschooled his entire life and remains unknown to most of the town. Will Ethan fail to escape the shadows of grief, or will this newfound friend guide him back towards a reason to keep himself alive? An SF original.
