Battling social anxiety, 19-year-old Lucy Owens relies on writing to contribute her strong political and moral views with the world. Writing an anonymous blog is not the only way Lucy tries to make a difference: she sends letters.
After witnessing an aggravated assault and arson by members of a local gang, the East Side Chicago Vipers, Lucy sends the leader's son a threatening letter demanding the discontinuance of gang activity in her neighbourhood.
But this time, things don't go Lucy's way.
The recipient of the letter just happens to be her neighbor's grandson, and when he meets Lucy, clueless as to whom she is, he takes a particular interest in her. As Lucy struggles to hide her identity after failing to avoid the gang member, she comes to realize that there are darker secrets lingering in the shadows of her neighborhood, and that she and the Vipers might just be on the same side.
