A sort of coming of coming of age about a girl who has to learn to live life for herself and discover who she wants to be, instead of trying to live up to everyone else's expectations of who they say she is.
Octavia Benson has spent her whole life pushing herself to be who everyone else wants her to be, the sweet and loyal daughter, the friend you can always go to if you need a favor or advice. The perfect student, an amazing athlete, a true leader, the girl who can do everything. Someone who never asks for help, the best big sister, the attentive girlfriend, and the list goes on. Everyone expects her to be something she's not, and it's starting to get harder and harder to live up to their expectations.
She has no idea who she is, and she's starting to feel like she never will. She's accepted this by now, but then a new student at her school changes everything.
Paxton Oliver, knows exactly who she is, and she's not afraid to admit it. At least that's what it seems like to Octavia. Paxton can see right through Octavia, she can see that she isn't what everyone else thinks, she can tell that Octavia is walking on a thin line between being perfect and having a complete break down. Paxton walks into Octavia's life and to everyone else perspective, blows it up. Except, maybe all she really does is help Octavia find the pieces to put it back together the way she wants it this time.
