Abby Spears walks out of jail three years later for a Halloween prank gone horribly wrong and causing the death of Olivia Johnson. Olivia's family has never forgiven Abby, nor has the rest of the school. But in those three years, Abby learned her lesson, never to play potentially dangerous pranks and the most valuable lesson of all: Everything has consequences.
   What Abby needs is for someone to understand that she isn't the same person anymore.
