When Tyler Sinclair left Stone Mountain at 18 without as much as a goodbye, he had no plans of returning. Years later Tyler, now the frontman of a famous band, finds himself returning to his hometown for a benefit concert As Tyler ascends the mountain, memories of his childhood come rushing back - memories of his abusive father and despondent mother, of the friends he left behind - and he quickly learns that, for many people on Stone Mountain, the past does not feel like so long ago, and not everyone has been eagerly awaiting his return. At the concert, resentment simmers just beneath the surface, and Tyler is confronted with faces new and old: his childhood best friend, now chief of police, and his star officer, an out-of-towner who may have bitten off more than she can chew. And then there's Freddi, a woman whose questionable dealings and fraught history with Tyler will become the catalyst for a tragedy that will upend each of their lives and threaten to validate Tyler's worst fear: that 'Stone Mountain is the kind of place you might escape from once, if you're lucky, but not twice...'
