The disappearances of two brothers, a little more than a decade apart, make no sense. Only the friends who’d last seen them could say what happened, and in each case, they had no plausible explanation. Both brothers were left behind when their friends sped ahead of them, Michael’s friends on bikes and Chucky’s on snowmachines. Were their disappearances a horrible coincidence, or something else? Will their family ever learn the truth about what happened to Michael and Chucky Palmer?
