In the wake of tragedy, a group of friends makes a pact that leads them to reunite a decade later for a transformative adventure. Four freshmen—Lainey, a California party girl; Tyson, a brilliant scholar from D.C.; Summer, a perfectionist athlete from the Midwest; and Hannah, a mild-mannered southerner—meet in their shared dorm and quickly form a strong bond. As college progresses, their friendship deepens, but a desperate act before graduation results in tragic consequences that change their lives forever. Heartbroken, they vow to support one another, regardless of distance or circumstances. Ten years later, Hannah faces what should be a joyous occasion, but her world is unexpectedly shaken. She reaches out to her friends, who are also at pivotal moments in their lives. True to their pact, they pause their own struggles to embark on a journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and acceptance. This poignant story explores themes of grief, love, and hope, prompting the question: When everything falls apart, who will be there to help us pick up the pieces?
