But right after they disembark, Noras cousin Riley falls to the ground and doesnt get up. Nora had begged and dragged Riley onto the ride, and no matter what the doctors say, that she had a heart condition, that it could have happened at any time, Nora knows it was her fault. Then, as Riley comes out of her coma, shes not really Riley at all. The cousin who used to be loud and funny and unafraid now cant talk, let alone go to the bathroom by herself. No, shes only 10% Riley. Nora, guilt eating her up on the inside worse than a Coney Island hotdog, thinks she knows how to help. How to get 100% Riley back. But what Nora doesnt realize is that the guilt will only get worse as that percentage rises.
