Sixteen-year-old Aza Holmes never planned to investigate the disappearance of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett. But a hundred-thousand-dollar reward is at stake, and her best friend, Daisy, is determined to solve the mystery. Their quest leads them to Pickett's son, Davis, pulling Aza into a world she is not prepared for and a relationship that challenges the boundaries of her relentlessly spiraling thoughts. Aza is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, and maybe even a good detective, but her own mind proves to be a more immediate and terrifying mystery than any missing person.

This is not just a story about solving a case, but about the challenge of living inside a mind that you cannot control. It is an exploration of love, resilience, and the power of lifelong friendship, offering a candid look at mental illness without easy answers. The novel confronts the profound question of how to find your footing in the world when the ground is constantly shifting beneath you, making for an intensely moving and unforgettable story about learning to live with the self you are.
