It's been a year since his best friend, Sam, died. Even though Oliver knows he won't get a response, he can't stop texting Sam's number, especially as the anniversary of his death approaches.

Then one day he accidentally hits the call button, and someone picks up.

Sam's number was reassigned and a stranger has been receiving Oliver's private and vulnerable messages for months. But Ben, a college student in Seattle, won't remain a stranger for long. When they finally meet in person, their spark is undeniable. Everything seems perfect until Oliver discovers something impossible and strange that will keep them from being together . . .
