Three best friends. One tragic accident.
Lucy has been desperate for a new heart for as long as she can remember. So when the call finally comes that a donor has been found, it should be a moment of joy. But for Lucy to live, someone else must die.

Yet beneath their close friendship lie secrets, resentments, and unspoken truths that threaten to surface at the worst possible moment.
