"It only seems fitting that my story starts with the end; when the fictional string is cut into pieces, when the soles of two feet leave the edge of the bridge and when the body of a bronze haired boy embraces the murky water of a river."
The life Ava Hanks leads is the epitome of normal; nothing of significance or out of the ordinary ever happens to her. But when Ava and her self-absorbed boyfriend- slash- best friend go out to the river for a date and witness James Rowan's suicide, her life takes a hundred and eighty degree turn. All of a sudden the ghost of James Rowan, bassist and lead singer of the notorious Veritas Latet, is intent on pushing her out of her comfort zone, pushing challenge after challenge her way.
"This is the story of how the life of James Rowan ends, and this is the story of how mine begins."
