When Memory Becomes a Crash Course in Truth
Have you ever noticed how the past never really stays buried? It waits, patient and persistent, until the exact moment you're least prepared to face it. For Antoine Rey, that moment arrives on a sun-drenched road returning from a nostalgic birthday trip with his sister Melanie. "Antoine, there's something I need to tell you," she begins, turning to look at him instead of watching the road. In that split second of distraction, metal crumples, glass shatters, and a family secret that's been submerged for thirty-seven years begins its violent ascent to the surface. What could Melanie have remembered that was so powerful it literally caused her to lose control? This question becomes Antoine's obsession, pulling him into an investigation that will transform everything he thought he knew about his mother, his family, and himself.
