It started out as just a typical afternoon as Justin and his brother
Mark are home alone after school. Their mom has locked down the
television set in the living room so they can't spend their time just
watching tv. But Mark has an idea. He breaks into his parents room
and the two boys turn on the tv and settle in. As the two wrestle
for control for the remote control, things get out of hand. And Mark
accidently shoots himself with the gun he finds in the
nightstand. Now, a year later, Justin is trying to cope with the
loss of his brother and the loss of everything that used to define
his life. His parents are distant, the kids at school don't know how
to act around him, and his girlfriend has dropped him. But this day
will be different. Justin will relive this day over and over. Just
what is going on here? And what about the voice that Justin keeps hearing?

I read this book and it was truly a cliff hanger through out it. It has such a twist ending, I loved it.
