Three years ago, on St. Patrick’s Day, Allie’s boyfriend vanished without a trace. The night was full of laughter and green confetti. Then, there's a blank space in her memory she's never been able to fill. No charges were filed. Allie was left with only fragments, clues that indicate she was the last person to see him alive.

Each year since, while everyone else celebrates, Allie stays isolated, cut off from the world. She refuses invitations, and lives inside the unanswered question that has defined her: What did I do that night?

When the third anniversary arrives, memories begin to surface uninvited, sensory flashes of music, laughter, and fear that do not align with the version of events she has clung to.

By the end of the night, Allie must confront the truth she's tried to recover for the past three years.
