Seven years ago, Christopher "Kit" Black and his friends helped put his father behind bars for murder. Entangled in the harrowing cold case when they were just teenagers, it now feels like an old nightmare. When his therapist suggests he write a book about his trauma, Kit begins to notice some inconsistencies. The last one left in the dead farmland town of Grimm, Missouri - he begins to doubt.

In this psychological drama, a coming-of-age story gone dark explores characters challenged by impossible choices, and a past which is better left undisturbed.

"Am I supposed to be afraid of you, sir?" I asked, making eye contact with him through the mirror in front of us. The knowledge that he couldn't actually hurt me just fueled my need to push his buttons. "For your own well being, Kassie, maybe you should be." He scrunched his nose up in a funny way and I noticed a slight sparkle in his eye. He found this just as amusing as I did. 'That was kinda hot.' I thought to myself. 'Bitch stop there's a gun pressed against your head right now.' ~~~~ undaunted : not intimidated or discouraged by difficulty, danger, or disappointment. ~~~~ thank you so much to @a1exaaa on here for helping me with a cover!

"I keep my promises," he said intensely. "Especially promises I make to beautiful girls." I rolled my eyes. "Don't. Don't say that." "What? Don't call you beautiful?" Leo tested in amusement. "I have never heard a girl ask not to be called beautiful." "I don't want to be told lies," I hissed under my breath. "I've had enough of those in my life."

how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems.
