When a young American high schooler is found dead in Hemlock Ridge, the storm doesn't just break over the community-it drowned it. An 18 year old Cuban , Guzmán Valera, is arrested within a day. No motive. No concrete evidence. Just his race was enough for the town to convict him rather than confront the truth.
Two Years Later, Yuri Shirasu. A fifteen year old burned-out highschooler haunted by her own failures. Driven by conscience, rage, and an unshakable belief in justice, she takes on Guzmán's case against the wishes of nearly everyone around her.
In her pursuit of truth, secrets rise like floodwater. The town doesn't want justice-it wants absolution. And Yuri must confront not only the system, but herself, before another innocent man is buried beneath the weight of a lie.
