Night Tides' best friend is dead. That's what she said, Flashing Lights is dead. It hurts. A lot. If you've lost someone you love, you know what it feels like. If not, the pain is overwhelming, crashing, burning. Pinning you down. This is Night's first loss.
Suddenly, Vinyl Scratch's brother died in a freak accident. It leaves her the only one of the Scratch family alive. Heart broken, she has no one to turn to. She needs to finish school, he says in his will. He leaves her enough to go to university.
Then Night Tides gets a roommate.
