Caleb was driving home for Christmas. Steven was pounding beers at a local bar. Matthew was out looking for his ex-girlfriend. Leo was walking in the woods on a winter night. Then they disappeared. Days, weeks, years later, their bodies turn up in icy rivers hundreds of miles apart. How did they get there? What, if anything, connects them? Some of their loved ones believe the official answers. Some are convinced the boys are victims of an insidious network called the Smiley Face Killers. Some are trying to forget them altogether. Meanwhile, Caleb, Steven, Matthew, and Leo find one other--and other boys like them--in the murky depths of the afterlife. Each tells his story in his own way, speaking his version of truth, confessing his desires and grievances and even his hopes for a future he still somehow believes belongs to him. Each revelation brings the reader deeper into their intertwined fates, along a journey through the landscapes of identity, intimacy, and the haunting echoes of unresolved grief.

"A morally complex and life-affirming exploration of what it means to be alive, and of the enduring power of love to transform, reanimate, and redeem." --Celeste Ng, New York Times-bestselling author of Our Missing Hearts
"The novel's immersive quality and intricate structure is reminiscent of Liz Moore's recent bestseller, The God of the Woods, while the boys' lyrical voices, told from an obscure afterlife, harken back to such contemporary classics as Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones." --The Boston GlobeCaleb was driving home for Christmas.
