Plot

Plot/synopsis

The bright fall afternoon stretches before fifteen-year-old Webber, free and clear like the empty country road where Grandpa lets him practice driving. Then Webb wakes up in the hospital, his leg shattered and his future as a runner in doubt. He can't remember anything about that day, but he learns: Grandpa was driving. The car hit a little girl named Taffy Putnam. She's in a coma and may never walk again.

Weeks later after trying to casually hang out with friends and various physical therapy exercises so Webber can get back into running as soon as possible, he remembers.

"You're fifteen years old," Grandpa says. "You have your whole life ahead of you. Just let me take care of everything. All the blame is mine. I'm the one who goes to jail. Webber," he begs, "forget it."

But how can Webb forget? He was driving.
