Robert/Jimmy, Alternate Universe, Grief/Mourning, Angst, Mystery, Developing Relationship

Summary

After the car accident that wrecked his life and left him a widower, Jimmy Page has spent the last five years in mourning. Everything changes when his daughter, Scarlet, begins kindergarten, and Jimmy meets her eccentric hippie teacher, Robert. Robert is a blast of color in the dreary landscape of Jimmy’s world, and Jimmy feels a spark. Ravaged by a tragedy of his own, Robert’s approach to grief is the opposite of everything Jimmy knows. Together, they build a relationship that just might fill the holes in their lives.

That contentment is gone in the blink of an eye, however, when Jimmy receives a mysterious letter haranguing him about the accident and raising the startling question that Scarlet may not even be his daughter.

Jimmy soon discovers the circumstances surrounding the accident have implications far more disturbing than anything he imagined. As his investigation grows, he finds himself uncovering secrets about his past and the people he left there, including the fiancée he lost long ago. But how deep does Jimmy want to dig into the darkness when the results could put his life in jeopardy? And does he have the strength to survive what he finds there?
