Erin and Silas are tight. More than friends, no longer lovers, their lives remain tangled up in one another. Silas has a drug problem, though, and when his loved ones make an intervention, things go terribly wrong. His body is found sometime later, and Erin is left wracked with guilt.

When one of her friends suggests taking a new narcotic that allows people to communicate with the dead, she jumps at the chance to say goodbye properly, but Silas isn't the only spirit coming through. Soon Erin is seeing the dead everywhere...

This is clearly a deeply personal book for Clay McLeod Chapman, who has spoken about his own experiences of losing people to addiction. His depiction of the dreadful panic attached to being close to someone whose life is in a state of constant freefall feels painfully real, as does the shock of Silas's death.
