Have you ever wondered what it was like to live a life in the shadows afraid of being in the spotlight? Or to be bullied every single day with no help from your so called 'friends'? Mia Hagen feels this way all of the time. She isn't very outgoing, she is a shy and scared girl afraid of her own shadow and the cloud of rejection. Her parents think of her as a disgrace and old boyfriends just used her to get to her friends, and her friends are now her bullies. Life in middle school sucks for Mia until a kidnapping is taken place, lives are at stake, and where friendship and trust is key to her survival. Will she make it out? Or not live to carry on an actual friendship?
