Everyone has bad days, but what do you do when all your bad days string together to create a bad life? Indiya Grace Adaline has spent her life as a social outcast, moving between cities every few years for her mum's "job", never making any real friends. She's been the subject of ridicule, name calling and teasing for as long as she can remember, all for something she has never had a say in. During her junior year, she moves to a new town, and a new school- Greenwood High School. Here, the kids are tougher and more unforgiving than anything she's ever been confronted with. Eventually, the bullying branches from being psychological to physical, and Indiya is trapped. Her life slowly starts to spiral out of control.
The situation is only worsened when she is paired with Leighton Reed, the most popular, yet shallow person in basically the whole school. His best friend also has an abnormal obsession with Indiya, and his girlfriend is one of the many who bully her.
This is a cocktail of destruction, physically and emotionally.
