Unable to sleep, seventeen-year-old competitive diver Ingrid, who is recovering from a head injury, and her neighbor, former best friend, and forever crush Van spend their nights together, unraveling the secrets in their quiet cul-de-sacA competitive diver, Ingrid is haunted by what she saw at the pool at a routine meet, before falling off the high dive and waking up concussed. The only thing she remembers about the moment before her dive is locking eyes with Van-- her neighbor, former best friend, and forever crush-- kissing his girlfriend on the sidelines. But that can't be all. One sleepless night she sees Van out her window-- looking right back at her. They begin not sleeping together by night, ignoring each other at school by day. As Ingrid pieces night her memory back together, Van works through his own reasons for not being able to sleep. Their quiet neighborhood may be a darker place than they realized. --, Adapted from jacket
