Shermy Halverson grew up on a block where nothing was what it seemed, babysitting a neighbor boy named Chase while his own parents treated him like an afterthought. When Shermy is pressured into destroying a fellow art student's career, the lie sets off a chain of events that strips him of his university dreams, nearly costs him his life, and forces him and the girl he has loved since childhood to flee into the night with nothing but a detective's abandoned car and a trunk full of someone else's secrets. Now, five years into a quiet life in a small Michigan town, a single photograph on a screen threatens to unravel everything he has carefully rebuilt — and force him to confront a past that was never finished with him.
