After Us

Alice died two months ago.

Since the accident, Danni's world has been suspended in a strange, unbearable stillness. Her best friend still appears beside her in quiet rooms, empty streets, and late-night conversations, as if her mind refuses to let her disappear completely.

When Danni's parents move to Providence for work, she is left behind to finish her senior year living with Charlotte Vence - Alice's older sister, the cold and painfully controlled woman who was driving the car the night Alice died.

As grief settles over the coastal town they once shared, Danni becomes entangled in the lives Alice left behind: Samuel, the self-destructive ex-boyfriend spiraling after the loss, and Daniel, the quiet bookstore clerk whose presence begins to crack through her isolation.

But grief distorts everything.

Memories begin to feel more real than the present, guilt turns love into something dangerous, and Danni slowly realizes that surviving the accident may have changed her in ways she can no longer control.
