Gina never meant for things to spiral out of control. What started as a single decision snowballs into something far bigger than she imagined. Now she watches as the world around her begins to crack and crumble. Friends turn away. Family relationships strain to the breaking point. The community she knows starts falling apart piece by piece. Gina realizes she holds responsibility for the chaos spreading through her life and the lives of everyone she cares about. She must find a way to face what she has done and figure out if anything can be repaired. The weight of her choices presses down as she struggles to understand how one person can cause so much damage and whether redemption remains possible when the destruction feels complete.
