Marie Cody has spent most of her life in darkness---locked away in a basement by her own father, trapped with her little brother and her mother, who is also her sister. Now free, she's determined to step into the light and live the life that was stolen from her. With the support of her family and a brave face to mask the trauma, Marie enrolls in high school as an aspiring journalist, desperate to appear "normal" while burying a past that haunts her.
Then there's Lorraine Day---the school's untouchable Queen Bee, a rising actress adored for her roles in the Drama Club. Beautiful, famous, and constantly in the spotlight---Lorraine is everything Marie isn't. But beneath her composed surface, Lorraine keeps to herself, rarely speaks, and hides behind a carefully crafted silence that makes people call her a snob... when really, she's just protecting herself from the cruelty of humanity.
As their worlds quietly collide, sparks begin to fly. But love doesn't come easy when both girls carry scars they've never spoken of. And some truths can't stay buried forever---especially when the past begins to creep back in from the shadows.
Because behind the fame, behind the silence, behind the scenes... Everyone's hiding something.
