They say it was an accident. He's not so sure.

Seventeen-year-old Caleb Whitaker survived the crash that took his mother and little sister. Everyone in the quiet town of Halewick calls it a tragedy—unavoidable, devastating, and senseless. Neighbors flood their porch with casseroles and candles. His father, once a quiet man, grows more distant with every passing day. Caleb is left clinging to memories and silence.

But when a large life insurance payout lands in his father's account, and strange details about the crash start to surface, Caleb begins to wonder if the story everyone's telling isn't the truth. A worn notebook. An unsent email. A camera that should have seen more than it did.

As he digs deeper, peeling back the layers of the life he thought he knew, Caleb begins to suspect the unthinkable: that the crash wasn't an accident—and someone close to him may have made sure it wasn't.

Torn between grief and a growing sense of betrayal, Caleb must choose whether to bury the truth along with the dead—or risk everything to uncover it.
