In the fall of 1984, six-year-old Sherry Astle nervously begins her first day of school in the small town of Port Bay, New Brunswick. That morning, she meets Lynn Nicholson-a spirited new girl with a fearless smile-and a lifelong friendship is born.
Through the years, the two girls grow up side by side, sharing laughter, secrets, and dreams against the backdrop of their quiet town. But as they reach the last year of high school, life takes them down paths neither could have foreseen. Choices are made, hearts are broken, and tragedy leaves behind a silence that neither friendship nor time can easily mend.
