Bata pa kami inaaway na niya ko. Kinukurot. Sinisilipan. Binabato ng eraser. Napipikon ako lagi. Umiiyak. Nagsusumbong sa teacher. Nung grade one umiyak ako kasi hinila niya yung pigtails ko. Isang beses nung grade three hinila niya yung upuan ko kaya napaupo ako sa sahig. Minsan nung grade five niregla ako, nakita niya yung tagos ko at pinagkalat sa buong klase.Nung first year high school ninakaw niya yung ID ko; ilang araw akong pinagmulta sa gate. Tapos ngayong sira yung sapatos ko, yayayain akong sumayaw. Bad trip!

To most people, Hayden is just a beautiful, small, quiet beach town - home to the wealthy and powerful. To others, it's their home - a tangle of secrets, lies and suffocation. Life in Hayden has always been tough for Cat Bartaletti.

And there's Lia Trent, the beautiful new girl who appears to be hiding more than one secret. When the four of them begin to form a shaky, but comforting friendship, everything changes - but for the better or the worse?
