Leon Miltenson would not have guessed that when his wife, Emma, left for a bridal shower, she would never come back. When a sudden, devastating accident takes her life, Leon is left shattered.

As Leon struggles to navigate his immense grief, the tragedy ripples through an interconnected web of lives: Janene, his troubled daughter, who must learn to navigate her relationship with her distant father; Griffin, his best friend battling addiction and a tortured past; and Calvin, a reclusive hermit who helps Leon build a roadside memorial. Most haunting of all is Kendall, a young boy who knows the truth of what happened that day-but has been sworn to secrecy by his father.

Last Alive is a deeply moving, character-driven exploration of grief, resilience, and healing. It is a powerful testament to how extraordinary circumstances can transform ordinary lives, and how hope can be found in the darkest places.
