Sebastian Cody was only four-years-old when he accidentally shot and killed his infant sister. Now a decade later, he's decided that living with the guilt and sideways stares of others is too much. This, he's decided, will be his last summer. But when he meets Aneesa, a Muslim girl who's new to his neighborhood, everything changes. Finally someone sees him for who he really is and not for his horrific past. But when his past is revealed and a wedge is driven between him and Aneesa, Sebastian finds himself right back where he started--planning to end his life the same way he ended his sister's so long ago.
