Janie And Micah Conflict

Janie and Micah, long time best friends. Although there’s one catch in their relationship. No one knows about their friendship. When Janie is forced to move away from her home neighboring Micah, it puts a strain on their friendship even more than ever. But when a fire sets Janie’s new house ablaze and Janie goes missing, to Micah at least, all that changes.

He is asked by the police many times what happened at the party and if he knows how the fire was started but he can only say little and only remembers a little more when they ask
