Bitcoin and a Billion Regrets

A billion dollars in bitcoin. One lost hard drive. Two exes. Millions watching. What could possibly go wrong?

Ten years ago, he lost a hard drive. And her. Now the hard drive is worth a billion dollars in bitcoin. And the lost relationship is still the best thing that ever happened to him.

Max Stanton is almost certain his ex-girlfriend Ashley Killingsworth threw away the hard drive the night they broke up. Ashley sees things differently. Or rather, she doesn't see them at all. She remembers almost nothing about that night.

She's spent the last decade in New York convincing herself, and millions of followers, that she's perfectly fine. She doesn't miss her ex. Everything can be fixed with a glow-up, a higher vibration, and a little soft living.

Then the internet discovers she's the woman who may have thrown away a billion dollars, and her reputation changes overnight from soft life queen to raging crypto ex-girlfriend.

Max wants to excavate the Loveland landfill. The city needs Ashley to confirm she actually threw the hard drive away. And a popular streaming service wants to turn the whole spectacular mess into a real-time documentary series.

Suddenly Ashley is back in her Colorado hometown, the place she swore she'd left behind, spending far too much time with the man she definitely got over years ago. To figure out what happened to the hard drive, Ashley and Max have to retrace the places that mattered to them and piece together the night everything went wrong.

The trouble with revisiting an old relationship is that you don't only remember why it ended. You remember why you fell in love, too.
