The Missing Summer

Dunk returns to the seaside town he hasn't seen in twelve years.

He remembers the salt in the air. The old boardwalk. The sound of waves against the rocks.

But he doesn't remember that summer.

Not really.

Everyone says he spent three months there when he was ten. Everyone says he had friends, adventures, memories.

Yet when Dunk tries to look back, all he finds are fragments.

A bicycle left beside the shore.

A stormy night.

And a boy named Joong.

The problem is...

Joong still lives there.

And he hasn't changed.

Not the way he should have.

The same eyes. The same smile. The same face Dunk remembers from old photographs.

As forgotten memories begin resurfacing, strange details emerge. Town records that don't make sense. Old newspaper articles that disappeared. People who refuse to answer simple questions.

And every clue somehow leads back to Joong.

The boy Dunk once knew. The man everyone avoids. The only person who seems to know what really happened that summer.

The closer Dunk gets to the truth, the more he realizes some memories were forgotten for a reason.
Because twelve years ago, something happened on the coast.

Something the town buried.

Something Joong has been protecting ever since.
And if Dunk uncovers the truth, he may lose the one person he never truly forgot.
