An Empty Desk

Frederick Middle School social worker Keisha Jones discovers a body in the school dumpster on the first day of a new school year. When the police identify her as Julia Rodriguez, a student, Keisha visits the reported address and finds an abandoned house.

Opening school demands prevent Keisha from pursuing her suspicions about what happened, but experiences in her past cause her to recall events she has never come to grips with. Memories emerge randomly, unpredictable moments of deja vu. Instinct tells her there is a connection between Julia's death and her own memories.

While seeking information about the student's death, Keisha discovers a link with one of the school's teachers. Despite lacking evidence, she uses her connections to reveal - and avenge - Julia Rodriguez's death.
