When they were children, Sean Devine, Jimmy Marcus and Dave Boyle were friends. But then a strange car pulled up their street. One boy got in the car, two did not, and something terrible happened - something that ended their friendship and changed all three boys forever.

And then there is Dave Boyle, who came home the night Jimmy's daughter died covered in someone else's blood...
