Norah, Grace, and Colton know the loneliness triggered by harboring secrets. Over time, that feeling echoes so loudly it is nearly impossible to bear. Eventually, their secrets seep into the world, fracturing the fortresses they have built around them. As each former parent attempts to climb out of their valley of grief after losing their only child, eyes are watching from the shadows, laying the groundwork to decimate their journeys. Toying with their emotions becomes entertainment. The game master carefully positions the pieces-tormenting and harassing the three unnerved players through cryptic and terrifying warnings and threats. Instead of looking forward, they begin watching over their shoulders. Trust is fragile. It can be broken with a single word or an unsettling glance. As the mystery intensifies, Norah, Grace, and Colton suspect everyone-until the day they stumble into the path of their heinous adversary. But when the psycho wages all-out war and truths are revealed, they struggle just to breathe. In nearly everything in life, there is a winner, and there is a loser. When the dust settles, who will call checkmate in this game of life-and-death?
