When Kriss Darcy returns to her family's upstate New York manor after her first year of university, she has no idea what the future has in store for her. A nineteen-year-old former theater star, she hasn't sung for others since her father, her idol and coach, died two years prior.
But an obsession changes everything.
A heavenly voice. Whispers of help. Passionate music stirring the air... and terrorizing the residents of the manor. A silver glare and a burning self-hatred. That's Ash.
Childhood memories. A stolen kiss. Binging sitcoms... and confusing the hell out of Kriss. A shamrock gaze and a boyish charm. That's Jase.
As the past meets the present, Kriss must decide what she wants. But every choice has a consequence - some more dire than others.
