Sixteen-year-old Alex Rufus feels like he’s always coming up short. He tries to be the best employee he can be at the local ice cream shop; the best boyfriend he can be to his amazing girlfriend, Talia; the best protector he can be over his little brother, Isaiah. But it’s hard to for him to be present when every time he touches an object or person, Alex sees into its future. When Alex touches a photo that gives him a vision of his brother’s imminent death, everything changes. With Alex now in a race against time, death, and circumstances, he and Isaiah must grapple with their past, their future, and what it means to be a young Black man in America. Bestselling author Brittney Morris is back with another thrilling story exploring intersectional issues of intergenerational family trauma, present day life for Black teens, and the idea of fate and destiny.
