When a devastating car crash leaves Lucas as the sole survivor, his charmed life implodes overnight—his girlfriend, his best friend, and his reputation all shattered in a single tragic moment. Consumed by guilt and abandoned by his small town, Lucas must navigate the crushing weight of survivor's remorse while fighting to find any reason to keep going. What emerges is a raw, emotional journey about redemption, forgiveness (especially of himself), and the possibility of finding light again in the darkest places. This is a beautifully painful story about second chances and discovering that sometimes the people who understand you best are the ones who've also been broken.
