In a small northern town in 2008, Year 11 means mock exams, pressure, and pretending everything's fine.
Riley Morgan hides from the world in the school's music room, a quiet girl with fading grades and too many thoughts she can't put into words.
Sally Thompson has everything - the grades, the friends, the perfect life in Rosemere Heights - or so everyone thinks.
When Sally is asked to tutor Riley, neither of them expects much. But between late nights at the library and songs that say what they can't, something begins to shift.
And in a world where silence feels safer than truth, two girls have to decide what's worth being brave for.
