Lee Burrows thought he had the trauma of his childhood behind him. After high school, Lee moved to Boston from his tiny hometown of Rhodesville, located in the far northwest corner of Alabama. Over the years he buried those terrible childhood memories. When the invite came, his wife urged him to attend his thirtieth high school reunion. Fearing he may have to face his past, Lee reluctantly agreed to attend the reunion.

As soon as Lee stepped out of his car in Rhodesville the memories roared back. The secret he held inside exposed itself. A secret he had told no one about, not even his wife. The secret that explained how one of his closest childhood friends had died.

They were only eleven years old and camping alone when the unthinkable happened. What young Lee told everyone about his friend's death was not the truth. Lee came face-to-face with the truth soon after his arrival for the class reunion.
