Seventeen-year-old Eli Turner thought the worst thing that could happen that summer was getting stuck in a dead-end town after graduation. But when a local girl disappears after a late-night party, whispers spread through Abilene faster than the heat rolling off the empty streets.
Everyone claims they saw something.
Everyone hides something.
As police close in and old friendships begin to fracture, Eli and his friends become trapped in a web of half-truths, secrets, and memories that no longer seem reliable. Beneath the glow of motel signs and streetlights, the town’s peaceful summer nights slowly unravel into paranoia and fear.
The deeper Eli digs into what really happened that night, the more he realizes the danger may not come from a stranger — but from someone much closer than he ever imagined.
Moody, cinematic, and emotionally charged, Summer Night Alibi is a gripping coming-of-age mystery about guilt, loyalty, and the secrets small towns work hardest to bury.
