Even being famous doesn’t mean as much as it once did; nowadays it’s friend vs. friend, celebrity vs. celebrity and reality vs. fiction. But even in hell, there are love stories left to tell…Meet Zach, Albie and Archie, three nobodies with something to say; the private detective on a case that threatens his own sanity, TV’s former golden girl who just wants out, and the voice of the people, now the country’s most wanted man. A trio of interconnected lives and loves recounted in reverse and wrapped around the dark mystery of a country at war with itself. Through their reflections, confessions and memories, a chillingly twisted portrait of a world, not too dissimilar to our own, is slowly revealed.

He whispered to me again and again, insisting I find the Omen of Stones. Having never heard of such lore, I thought I could ignore his pleas. The Summer Solstice proved otherwise.
