To stop herself from breaking, Zari searches for sanctuary in her little black book and the art of writing. Suddenly, a new world is opened up and she is finally in route to finding herself.
Just when things are starting to look up, Sage Atwood, her bully and neighbor, comes to her in the middle of the night and bares all. Zari's life is yet again turned upside down as her relationship with him grows and she dives deeper into his twisted life.
