When Shelby receives a chilling invitation to visit her childhood friend Eddie, now on Death Row for the gruesome murder of his family, she's forced to confront the shadows of their shared history. The narrative unveils their twisted journey from childhood friends, exploring an abandoned fallout shelter as their sanctuary, to distant figures bound by tragedy. In re-examining her connection with Eddie and the July fourth incident that launched a battle against an insidious evil, Shelby teeters on the brink of understanding the complex tapestry of love, betrayal, and heartbreak that connects her to the boy who lived across the street. As Eddie's execution looms, Shelby must piece together the fragments of memory and the wounds of her past to grasp the true depths of the secrets buried on Chicory Lane.
