<p>"Distinctive and immersive." - Foreword Clarion Reviews</p><p></p><p>A multiracial family from New York returns, again and again, to Mobile, Alabama - drawn back by family ties to a place where a decades-old lynching still shapes the present. Their eighteen-year-old son has already begun to uncover what happened.</p><p></p><p>They arrive from the North with distance, money, and the quiet protections of privilege. In Mobile, those protections begin to thin. The past feels closer here - less abstract, more lived - and the divisions it produced remain visible in ways they cannot ignore. The family itself carries its own fault lines: a white father, a Black mother, and children who move between worlds, read differently depending on where they are.</p><p></p><p>At the center is eighteen-year-old Elijah, navigating the contradictions of identity, inheritance, and rage. As he pushes deeper into his family's past, what begins as a search for understanding starts to slip beyond his control, threatening consequences he cannot foresee.</p><p></p><p>Around him, each member of the family confronts a fracture of their own. His father retreats into systems of control, preparing for a future he believes is already collapsing. His mother resists a life shaped by fear and distance. His sister watches, reads, and searches for meaning in what remains unsaid.</p><p></p><p>Told through shifting interior voices, Ghost Gun explores the uneasy boundary between reckoning and destruction.</p><p></p>
