Regret drove him off the trail. Facing the past may be the only way forward.

Near mile 1,390 of the Appalachian Trail, Kip Saunders steps off the path--both the hiking trail and the course his life has taken. Haunted by a decision he made twenty-five years earlier, Kip leaves the trail behind and returns to a place he once abandoned: the United States Military Academy at West Point.

He shouldn't be there.

He knows it.

But something unfinished has pulled him back.

As Kip moves through the grounds he once called home, memories resurface--along with the people, expectations, and failures he thought he had left behind. Then there is Oscar, the voice he cannot escape. Part conscience, part tormentor, Oscar presses Kip to confront the truth he has spent years avoiding.

What begins as a quiet return becomes something far more unsettling. The line between memory and reality begins to blur. Encounters feel too precise. The past refuses to stay buried.

Kip is forced to ask himself:

Is redemption worth the cost of reopening old wounds?

Or has he gone too far to ever find his way back?
