Taggart and Cassie are eager to put last summer’s tragic events behind them and the start of college is just the ticket, but it is proving to be easier said than done. University life is certainly an adjustment, though maybe not in the same way. Taggart is enjoying the stimulating and mind-expanding fruits of the academic world at Truman University, but Cassie is finding the changes to be overwhelming and worries that her boyfriend is drifting away now that he is less dependent on her.

People are dying under mysterious circumstances in the small town of New Haven. And the city’s best hope of uncovering the truth rests with a troubled teen and the girl who can't stand him. Cassie Underwood’s life is shattered when her younger sister dies in a freak car accident. In her grief, Cassie unfairly blames her sister’s constant companion—Taggart McGill—a boy with a sketchy past and abrasive personality. As Cassie attempts to recover from the loss, she struggles to honor her late-sister’s memory by befriending the person she resents most.

Two strangers meet on a train and share a conversation that changes them both. He’s running from the numbness of a life he no longer recognizes. She’s running from a grief that refuses to fade. What follows is a brief, incandescent connection — one that lingers long after the train stops.
