Balloons

03 December 2024

Ten years ago in the small town of Echo Valley, a school bus full of children disappeared. Amy was supposed to be on that bus, but she faked an illness to stay home and her life was spared. One day, a couple dozen brightly colored balloons gently float down from the sky bringing with them mementos belonging to the missing children. Things get even stranger when Amy’s classmates return to the town—and they haven’t aged a day. The mystery reaches new heights when the truth about Amy’s life over the past decade is revealed, and she learns of the difficult decision she must make for her future.
