Ingrid can't sleep. She can't remember, either. A competitive
diver, seventeen-year-old Ingrid is haunted by what she saw at the

up concussed. The only thing she remembers about the moment before
her dive is locking eyes with Van - her neighbor, former best
friend, and forever crush - kissing his girlfriend on the
sidelines. But that can't be all. Then one sleepless night, she
sees Van out her window looking right back at her. They begin not
sleeping together by night, still ignoring each other at school by
day. Ingrid tells herself this is just temporary, but soon, she and
Van are up every night piecing her memory back together. As Van
works through his own reasons for not being able to sleep, they're
both pulled into a mystery that threatens to turn their quiet
neighborhood into a darker place than they realized.
