This is What Comes After

After everything cracked open, life doesn't slow down. It gets louder.

Tuck is home, but home comes with rules, pressure, and the knowledge that one bad night could send him right back. Sparky is out too, trying to adjust to a life that's finally opening up while still carrying everything that got him there. Ella's truth is finally out, and nothing in the family feels untouched by it now.

But the world doesn't pause just because they're hurting.

It's the last semester of senior year, and everything is happening at once. School. Secrets. Relationships. Fear. The Red Jaws. Old threats that never really went away. New truths no one is ready for. And a group of friends trying to hold onto each other while life keeps changing faster than they can catch up.

This is the fallout.
This is the pressure.
This is the part where everything matters.

This Is What Comes After is about what happens when the truth is finally out and everyone has to figure out how to live with it.
