Summary: Grace, Henry and Ally grew up on the same block. They used to be best friends -- until Grace's testimony put Henry's brother, Jake, away for murdering their English teacher. Now, two years later, Ally and Henry hate Grace, and Grace has begun to doubt her memory of that night. It only gets more complicated when a mistrial is called and Jake is suddenly released from prison. The uneasy peace the town has settled into is shattered -- no one wants a murderer next door -- but soon enough, a new trial date is set. For Henry and Ally, this only means one thing: The clock is ticking. They know Jake is innocent, but he's sure to be found guilty again unless there's new evidence to prove he isn't -- and Grace is the missing piece. They need her on their side. The problem? Even if they can set aside their differences, people in Brawner have secrets that they've gone to great lengths to bury.
