In minutes everything Collin took for granted is destroyed when a shooter''s bullets tear through the club. Collin survives, but that''s only the start of his ordeal. In the aftermath he has to face the loss of his friend, survivor''s guilt, the pain of his wounds, and judgment when he''s outed on a national level. Making it through his last year of school feels impossible when life as he knew it will never be the same.
