Inspired by true events—one accusation can destroy everything.
Eighteen-year-old soccer prodigy Davis Day had the world at his feet: a college future, a loyal team, and dreams of playing professionally. All it took was one lie to rip it all away.
Branded a criminal before he can defend himself, Davis watches his name, his friendships, and his future collapse. Pressured into a plea deal he never should have taken, he’s trapped in a nightmare where the truth doesn’t matter—and every day feels like another nail driven through the life he once knew.
Butterfly is a haunting and unflinching novel about injustice, betrayal, and the silent suffering of the falsely accused. It’s a chilling reminder that sometimes the truth isn’t enough… and once a lie takes flight, there’s no telling how far it will go.
