Every day, Mark Riley would walk by the park near the suburbs at exactly six o'clock in the morning.

Just enjoying the breeze, he'd say.

Until...

"What's this?"

Mark was your typical high school kid.
Well, not exactly normal since he lived a life others would be deathly envious of considering that most girls practically worship the ground he walked on, and most guys want to be like him, or better yet, to be him.
Praised by the teachers for his high grades and the son of two rich parents, his life was perfect.

Or so he'd like to think.

Everything changed when he picked up a special something by the park.

A laptop belonging to a dead girl.
