Maya Bishop, a 16-year-old track athlete, is the best runner at her school. What she doesn't realize is that her father's "unconventional" coaching methods are actually a form of abuse. Pushed beyond her limits as both an athlete and a teenager, Maya believes she's found a way to manage the pain without her father's noticing. That is, until Carina DeLuca, a 17-year-old transfer student from Italy, arrives at her school. Carina DeLuca, a talented dancer, moved to America hoping that escaping her bipolar father would help heal the damage done to her body. But the emotional scars linger, manifesting in new ways. Even in a different country, she can't outrun her past. Her obsession with self-discipline nearly breaks her, until one day she meets Maya, and for the first time, the constant noise in her head begins to quiet.
