Prologue

After finding the body of a young girl in the bushes of her New Orleans neighborhood, Miles, a pessimistic but fiercely loyal high schooler, becomes curious about the girl's history. Maybe it's because she's around her own age or because no one seems to have known her but Miles can't let go of the sight of her sunken body. With the high rates of violence in her neighborhood, Miles doubts the young girl's killer will ever get caught and enlists help from Syndey, a handsome neighbor that happens to have OCD and her disabled, younger brother, Jelly, to find the truth. Miles must balance her family issues with her absent father coming back into her life, her very secret crush on a boy that doesn't like to be touched and a voodoo high priestess trying to teach her how voodoo can make everything right in her life...for a cost.
