"Cal and I were just launching into the guitars when it happened. The sound was nearly imperceptible with the drums still pounding.
A small pop. And then another. And another.
The guitar slipped from my hands as the blood spilled from my shoulder and chest.
Fate was about to make a liar out of me."
When his best friend is shot right before his eyes, Cal MacDermott knows that the key to saving CJ lies in a promise made nine years ago. A promise made blindly, because neither he nor CJ could have known then how the promise could be fulfilled. CJ's final words to Cal as the paramedics rush in, were a plea to find a girl, the girl who stole his heart, and tell her to wait for him, tell her she could be Violet, she could be anything she wanted.
Though he doesn't understand what CJ's words mean, Cal is determined to go to any length to save his best friend. Keeping his promise will mean facing his past, facing a crippling loss, fear and insecurity. Cal must open his heart and risk getting hurt to prove that fate is real, promises matter and love can heal his best friend.
He has to find her, find Violet to find himself.
Violet. A color. A flower. A wavelength.
The color of selfless, unconditional love.
