Shocked into muteness after his parents are killed in a car crash in Idaho, seventeen-year-old Adam makes his way home to Rhode Island. As he travels, memories of his parents (as well as thoughts of his troubled girlfriend at home) swirl amid his present dangers. Adam's emotions ring true, and his voice conveys layers of conflict and grief with devastating clarity.
