There, she meets Clara vibrant, magnetic, and fearless who slowly begins to pull Marie out of her shell. Yet not everything is as simple as friendship.

As Marie learns to navigate love, betrayal, and the pressure of fitting in, she begins to uncover the truth hidden within herself that sometimes the hardest person to face is the one in the mirror.
