Grace's new neighbor introduces himself as Hal. But he looks familiar. Like, really familiar. Grace is sure she's seen those long, curly locks, and those wrinkled eyes before.
Still, there's no way Hal could be Harrison Grant, though, right? Why would THE Harrison Grant be living in Montclair, New Jersey? He's a star. Or at least he was, until that video leaked, and he went viral (the bad kind), and he threw a carton of eggs at paparazzi, and he declared he was taking a break from "it all." No explaining what "it all" was in the last post on his Instagram account, with 12.1 million followers. His last post was on January 1, 2020, declaring he was starting over.
Grace and Hal leave each other alone, mostly. Until quarantine begins, and they're two of the last people left in their building. They're stuck with one another. And Grace is determined to learn the truth.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
