    Will James's tenth high school reunion starts out innocently enough. Sure, he has the usual nerves, facing his peers without having achieved his dreams. But so what if he's a tabloid reporter instead of a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist？ So what if, ten years after being left at the altar, Will isn't even thinking about marriage？ Most people haven't done any better...
    But things take a dark turn when Will discovers that one of his old friends was killed during their senior year--even though Will remembers hanging out with him both at graduation and after. Yet everyone else remembers the hit-and-run, the funeral...and now Will's memories are beginning to change.Soon other terrible memories surface, acts of violence from the past that are brutally altering the present--ruining lives, even ending them. Somehow reality is shifting, and it seems that Will alone is aware of it. But why？ And can he hope to change it？
