Much like what was said before, the premise definitely seems interesting and I only have a few nitpicks to add. I was initially confused when Braden was mentioned before putting it together that he was the guy Sam was talking to. Furthermore, I also thought the burned boy was going to be the focus of perspective in the story before it switched to Sam. So with those in mind, just make sure you have a consistent point of focus and if you have one central character, make it so that the narrative always follows their perspective. That way others won't be confused and wondering who Braden was (like me). Other than that, I do like the set up.
