Creighton is dying.
Ruby has killed someone.
Autumn is dead.
They are mountaineers and writers and valedictorians and prisoners and protectors and sailors, cutting through the ocean, trying to find land.
Surrounded by the untamed beauty of the Appalachians while trapped behind walls, they are left searching for a way to the other side.
Introduced by chance and united by circumstance, their pathways guided by excruciating pain and unimaginable loss, Creighton, Ruby, and Autumn find themselves running from everything they've ever known towards the promise of a life without walls.
