She said she'd send someone to help him escape. But escape what? Since the day Sage's mother died, he was left with nothing more than the nagging feeling that there was something right in front of his eyes. Student Council President, perfect marks and attendance, Sage's picturesque life shatters the night he meets Drew. An endearing young man, Drew lands in his life and claims it's all a lie. Every moment scripted, every movement monitored, Sage finds himself at the heart of a conspiracy. Trusted allies become potential enemies and he starts to sense that everyone is keeping a bigger secret from him, even Drew. He must use his wit to discern friend from foe and to read between the lines of his scripted world before the people in control realize he knows in order to break free in The 15th of Finality.Show book
