Between the suffocating heat, the alcoholic father he's still stuck living with, the draft, a mediocre paycheck as a service station attendant, and helping his friends Jamie and Wes take care of their disabled sister Fay, Coyt Aldon is just trying to survive the summer of 1970. He's sure things can't get much worse. But when Fay goes missing-in none of her usual hiding places, not seen by anyone, nowhere-and stays missing, things take a serious nosedive.
Coyt hopes she'll show up. He's wrong again. Just like he's wrong about being able to take on his old man. Because life is a crap shoot, and guys from their neighborhood always lose.
Fay's disappearance is only the beginning of a journey, one that plunges the friends into the horrors of the justice system, social services, and ghosts of memories only Fay knows.
But Coyt and his friends are used to being shit on, and they don't give up so easily.
A gritty story of found family, friendship, loss, and the treatment of the disabled.
