When seventeen-year-old Charlie wakes up inside the revenge fantasy he wrote three months ago-a story where his family's darkest secrets explode during one catastrophic dinner-he discovers that living through fictional drama is far more painful than writing it. As he's pulled from scene to scene in his own narrative, Charlie must navigate his sister's betrayal with his ex-girlfriend, face his parents' crumbling marriage, and find the courage to come out as bisexual to his family. But when reality begins to deviate from his script, Charlie learns that real healing requires more than dramatic revelations. It demands the messy, complicated work of forgiveness and the courage to write a better story for his life.
