Sixteen‑year‑old Billy Mortin has been homeless for two years, surviving behind a diner on soaked cardboard and whatever food he can trade cans for. In Redwood, Pennsylvania, he moves like a ghost-unseen, unheard, and unnoticed by a town that has already forgotten him.
Until the night he sees something he can never forget.
While searching for cans to bring to the recycling center near the Holt house, Billy witnesses a violent murder inside the home. Terrified and alone, he becomes the only person who knows what really happened-and the only one who can identify the killer. But coming forward could cost him the fragile safety he's built on the streets.
As Redwood spins its own story about the death, Billy hides at St. Andrew's Church, torn between staying invisible and risking everything to tell the truth. The more he learns about the town's secrets, the more he realizes the danger isn't over. Someone is still watching. Someone who knows he saw everything.
A gripping, emotional mystery about survival, courage, and the boy no one bothered to see-until he became the key to the truth.
