Haley Moore – Your best friend who ran away has returned...

Five years ago, your best friend ran away from home, and out of your life. Now, at her parents' funeral, you meet her again...

Once, you and Haley Moore were inseparable—two outsiders clinging to each other in a town that never gave either of you a chance. Both from broken homes, looking into a bleak future in a dead-end Kentucky town. You made each other's existence more bearable, and dreamed of one day leaving it all behind.

That came sooner than you'd expected. One night, Haley stood outside the door: a duffle bag packed, a black eye bearing evidence of her father's latest drunk fit of rage. Haley couldn't take it anymore. She was leaving...begging you to come with her.

And you.

Now the question isn’t just what happened to Haley Moore.

It’s whether there’s anything left to save.

A trailer park upbringing. A callous, spiteful mother. A raging alcoholic father. You and her used to joke who had the more fucked up home life. Truth is, you'd never have swapped places with her for a single day if you had the choice.

Five years ago, she'd vanished from your life. She said she couldn't tell you where she was going if you weren't coming. That she wouldn't want to risk her parents finding her.

But you still remember the look in her eyes when you told her you weren't coming.

Now, her parents are dead. You'd heard the news. They'd died in a f
