After the tragic death of popular 17-year-old Haven Mayberry, everyone at Westside High is in despair, but nobody feels more alone than outcast Daisy Wendell, who wears baggy frumpy clothes and sarcasm as an impenetrable shield. Unbeknownst to everyone in their religious town, especially Haven's uptight mother, she and Haven were secretly best friends.

When their friendship is discovered, the students of Westside High suddenly take an interest in Daisy, particularly Haven's close friends, Paige, Jenna and Ashley.  It's Paige who then leads the charge in trying to assimilate Daisy into the upper echelon of school society. Some think her motivations are driven by grief, but Daisy knows it's driven by guilt.  Guilt at having confronted Haven and Daisy, on the day Haven died, about the fact they weren't just secret friends, they were secretly in love/secret lovers.

At first, Daisy resists the unwanted attention, but eventually, in her desperation to cling to Haven's memory, she starts to communicate with her dead friend and asks for her advice. The result? She slowly loses her grip on her own identity, and becomes more popular than Haven was. Indeed, Daisy now feels as if she's closer to Haven than ever, but in order for her to move on she must reveal the truth of their relationship and of herself to everyone who still clings to a ghost of a girl.

Living in a suffocating household dynamic, 17-year-old Lizzy Jones, finds herself constantly overlooked by her parents who lavish attention on her younger sister, Jamie - their self-proclaimed golden child. Left to navigate life's challenges alone, Lizzy begins to question her place in the world. While her peers are out partying, dating, and conforming to societal expectations, Lizzy feels trapped in a never-ending cycle of trying to fit in. In her monotonous routine, she yearns for something more, something authentic that goes beyond the surface. Enter Parker Watts, the enigmatic rebel of their school. Intrigued by his mysterious aura, Lizzy is drawn to him, sensing that he holds the key to breaking free from her stifling existence. As their paths intertwine, Lizzy discovers a side of herself she never knew existed - a longing for adventure, a desire to challenge the norm, and an appetite for genuine connections. With Parker as her guide, Lizzy learns to embrace her individuality, pushing against the expectations imposed upon her. While her friends conform to societal molds, Lizzy begins to understand the value of forging her own unique path. Caught between the pressures of conforming and the call of her authentic self, Lizzy grapples with her choices throughout her junior year. The more time she spends with Parker, the deeper their connection grows, and the more they both realize that they are searching for something profound amidst the superficiality of teenage life.
