Castleton

Senior year at Castleton High was supposed to be about parties, football, and getting out. Instead, the cracks are spreading.

Jane is trying to survive the fallout of a summer that nearly destroyed her. Tyler is clinging to love while sabotaging his future. Heather is trapped between family image and the truth rotting underneath it. As addiction, heartbreak, and dangerous secrets spread through town, Castleton's polished surface begins to fracture.

From school hallways to the neon glow of the Burger Hut, friendships are tested, families unravel, and the people who thought they knew this town best are forced to confront what it has been hiding all along. By the time graduation approaches, nobody is untouched.
