A Friendship on the Rocks: Who’s Really to Blame?
In a tale of trust, betrayal, and hard decisions, our protagonist finds himself in a tough spot. After introducing his girlfriend Leah to his close-knit group of friends, he’s forced to confront his best friend, Travis, who’s been less than welcoming.
