This weaving narrative follows five fundamentally flawed girls as they struggle with coming to terms with their place in the world and their connection to those around them. Mysteries are unveiled and secrets unraveled as they discover their similarities and find their own flaws mirrored in each other. Devoting every Saturday for reminding them that they are alive, they taunt death every week and beckon it closer with each passing day until finally they bring it upon themselves.
Narcissa the new girl, the goth, the liar. She can't feel pain, but she can inflict it so well.
Layla the coward, the one who fears her own shadow. She hides behind others and tries to convince them that she's enough.
Tessa brash and brutish, her father's greatest disappointment. She feigns compassion to please her mother who wants so desperately to love her.
Esther the prodigy, the one who the whole town places their faith in. The one that trampled her own brother on her way to the top and didn't spare a backward glance.
Yasmin the faux-bleeding heart who adopts righteous causes to fit her needs. She coasted through life half-asleep until she woke up and fell in love with the world. Then it broke her heart.
Their words collide and end in disaster and the gravest of consequences.
