When Riley was 13, she came out to her single mother as trans. Her mom was a bit aloof about it all but tried to understand. Suddenly, age 14, she mysteriously died in her room. She looks like she has had bruises on her neck. No entry point was found, but right there was a cup half empty with bleach. A look at what else is on the coffee table, is her will. It says she leaves her money to her... daughter? Riley is confused for a bit. She doesn't have a sister. Unless, it was her. She was finally gendered correctly. It doesn't say Richard or Richie like it would. It says Riley. While this news is good, it doesn't distract her from her mom. She left a bow in the will as well. The rest of the will says things about never letting anyone call her a he. Never. How will she find the cause of her mother's death while struggling against the world as a transgender girl in a suburban Pennsylvania town and school?
