I did too. Don't drown.❞ - As Izzy starts pulling at the threads, everything unravels- Her sister is wearing the life she left behind. The boy who once called her Hurricane is kissing someone else under her family's roof. And someone is doing everything they can to keep the truth buried where the tide can't reach.

So now, after years of deliberately staying far away, Dylan is back and determined to interact with the town, its people, and the tragedy that took place there as little as possible.
