From the back cover

For five years, Hannah has told herself that her husband Garrett, a decorated fire lieutenant, gives his minutes to people on the edge of death. He never opened the video of their daughter Maisie's first steps; when the child burned with fever, his line rang out until it died. Then a gas line ruptures in their home, and Hannah, trapped with a coughing five-year-old, dials him again and again.

His forgotten backup phone lies on a linen-closet shelf. Its battery analytics and pinned messages reveal what his silence has hidden: every call from Mallory Brooks, the widow of his late ladder partner, answered within seconds, every school photo and bedtime question for her son Toby tended to at once. At the hospital he arrives with Mallory and Toby in tow, and the excuses begin to fray.

When Mallory's sobbing call cuts through the truck's console, Garrett orders Hannah and Maisie out onto a rain-slicked shoulder and drives away. Sitting in the mud with her daughter, Hannah dials her cousin's family-law firm and asks for a divorce petition and sole custody.
