For Rose Gardner, working at the DMV on a Friday afternoon is bad even before she sees a vision of herself dead. Sheβs had plenty of visions, usually boring ones like someoneβs toiletβs overflowed, but sheβs never seen one of herself before. When her overbearing momma winds up murdered on her sofa instead, two things are certain: There isn't enough hydrogen peroxide in the state of Arkansas to get that stain out, and Rose is the prime suspect.
Rose realizes sheβs wasted twenty-four years of living and makes a list on the back of a Wal-Mart receipt: twenty-eight things she wants to accomplish before her vision comes true. Sheβs well on her way with the help of her next door neighbor Joe, who has no trouble teaching Rose the rules of drinking, but wonβt help with number fifteen-- do more with a man. Joeβs new to town, but it doesnβt take a vision for Rose to realize heβs got plenty secrets of his own.
Somebody thinks Rose has something they want and theyβll do anything to get it. Her house is broken into, someone else she knows is murdered, and suddenly, dying a virgin in the Fenton County jail isnβt her biggest worry after all.
