They may have buried the truth, but nothing ever stays buried.
Fifteen years ago, a reckless joyride ended in a deadly crash, and a secret pact between three friends to leave the scene and never look back. Arafat tried to move on, haunted by the memory of that awful day. He found love again, the one bright thing in a life stained by guilt. And until now, he thought he could outrun the past.
Until one of the three friends is found murdered, and the message at the crime scene reads:
"I know what you did."
Now, Arafat must uncover the truth he thought they'd buried, before the shadows of that day consumes him completely. Someone out there remembers. Someone out there wants revenge. And they won't stop until everyone who was in that car pays the price.
Because some sins don't just haunt you.
They hunt you.
