All The Best People Are

By Sunday St. Marie

Portland, Oregon. 1998.

The bar staff at O'Malley's are the best of friends, living their lives like a mixtape of late nights and bad decisions. When a charismatic new bartender named Judah is hired, his attention becomes a game they're all playing to win. Then at the summer's end, he vanishes from a party one night. And no one ever sees him again.

Ten years later, Allie Carmichael and her former friends reunite at a remote lakeside resort. Drinks flow. Old masks snap back into place. And a camera waits in a private room called "The Confessional." One by one, they draw their questions. Then someone presses the play button on a VHS tape from the night he disappeared.

By morning, one of them is dead.

One weekend. Six confessions.

The one who ran.

The one who spiraled.

The one who lit the match.

The one who carried the torch.

The one who knew too much.

Or the one who wanted everything to stay the same...

Forever.
