Christina was what some people consider your average teenager. Not as in the glamorous world that people paint high school as, but the real deal; having only a handful of friends, a moderate to average grade in a couple of classes, and living in an ordinary house not too far from the local grocery store. She hadn't really gotten into much trouble before, nothing more serious than the time she cussed out a kid in the fourth grade or when she ate the rest of her little brother's Halloween candy; but the one time she does something a little more drastic than your everyday mess up, things go from bad, to awful, and then worse. Her whole world goes in a totally different direction than anyone ever planned, leading her to find out how to adapt to her new life, and what may be in store for her next.
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.
