Obsessed. That's what fifteen year old Nala Wilson was. She was obsessed with Rome Cameron. She new she wasn't suppose to like him but her young heart couldn't convince herself otherwise. It didn't help with the fact that he was the boyfriend of Lani Okina, one of her best friends. Nala owed everything to her new friends Lani, Catalina and Hazel.

Even if that meant killing her best friend.
When Jane Madarang's neighbor Natalie kills herself and leaves behind cryptic instructions, it's up to Jane and her classmates to unearth deadly secrets.
