Ellie Williams didn't kill Brody Downs. But she's not innocent either.
In a town that never lets you live down a mistake, Ellie knows better than to seek second chances. Especially, when her mom's rap sheet circulates around more than the newspaper. So, in the wake of Brody's death and her name in the rumor mill, Ellie keeps her head down and her secrets close.
But when the calm breaks and the storm hits, nothing makes sense anymore.
Broken bonds turn into romances, friends start to look suspicious, and the line between truth and lie blurs.
In this town, you can't trust anyone.
Not even the version of yourself you're pretending to be.
