From the back cover

On the day of his wedding, Dean's fiancée Madison and his twin brother Clyde are said to die in a crash, and his mother is left bedridden by the shock. Blamed for bringing misfortune on everyone, Dean has no time to grieve: he hauls concrete by day and delivers food by night to cover her medical bills.

One day, wearing a mascot suit for a shop's grand opening, he overhears a familiar voice. Through the eyeholes he sees Madison and Clyde alive, married and expecting a child, his mother standing healthy beside them, and his best friend Andy laughing with his arm around Clyde. Everyone he trusted has known the truth for five years.

When Dean finally removes the mascot head, the room falls silent. Madison explains she fell in love with Clyde five years ago, and Andy tells him he should understand. Dean is left facing the people who let him mourn a lie.
