He was a North Carolinian afraid of adventures. He ended up on an epic journey, trying to solve a mystery.
Michael’s girlfriend has disappeared without a trace. One day, she was talking his ears off; a few days later, no one has heard from her.
Was there a criminal act behind it? Or was she just tired of her life and left? The questions quickly become irrelevant as Michael discovers how silent-and delightful-things are without his babbling partner around.
But gradually, the silence becomes suffocating, and Michael realizes he has a responsibility to investigate things further. He must face his worst fear: venturing out into the world and talking to other people, a journey that takes him from the peaceful Cary to one of the most frantic places in the country.
