Summary:
Josh and Kevin live in fear after Mark, a classmate and co-worker, begins blackmailing them over a secret that could destroy their lives. Desperate to escape his grip, they plan to make him disappear, wrestling with guilt, faith, and the unthinkable consequences of being exposed.
On the night of their plan, they wait in the shadows, ready to act. But before they can, everything spirals out of control.
By morning, the Burger Chef is empty. The employees are gone.
And Josh and Kevin never speak of that night again. Because whatever happened, whatever went wrong—Mark is gone.
And so are the rest of them.
