I never meant for any of this to happen.

Colt could go to jail. Shawn's unraveling. And it's my fault. All of it, because I tried to handle things on my own, and I made the wrong call.

Now everything's falling apart. The school's watching. The cops have questions. And the boys who once protected me are the ones paying the price.

I'll do anything to fix this. To protect Colt. To make things right. Even if it means facing the people who've always pulled the strings at Hidden River and tearing down every lie I once believed.

But the deeper I dig, the worse it gets. And I'm not sure who I can trust, not even the boys I thought I knew.

They say love can be messy. Dangerous.

But I didn't realize it could destroy us.
