This is the story of a boy who died - and a girl who wants to know why., Todd Mayer is dead. Now hes some sort of ghost, hovering over his body, which has just been found in the town park, naked and frozen in the snow. As detectives investigate Todds homicide, talking to the very people who are responsible for how he died, Todd replays the events that lead him to his end in the park., Georgia didnt know Todd. But she cant stop thinking about him. Maybe because theyre both outcasts at their school, or because theyre both queer. It might also be because Georgia has a feeling shes seen Todd somewhere before, somewhere he wasnt supposed to be., In the vein of The Lovely Bones, this dual narrative is told through the voices of Todd in his afterlife and Georgia as she uncovers the truth behind his death, resulting in an immersive, emotional, and provocative listen.
