Permanent Record
“High school. Senior year. His suicide shattered their world. Their courage drove them to pick up the pieces.”
David Sinclair seems to have everything going for him: he's smart, musically talented, and very successful. To top off his senior year in high school, his band is trying to get a recording session. Therefore, David's suicide leaves everyone, especially his best friend and bandmate, Chris, with a lot of questions.
