Calista is back, but nothing feels the same. She's slipping-off the program, out of control, back into the depths of her eating disorder.
Her brother, Elijah, is watching, but he has his own secrets-ones that pull him deeper into a dangerous crowd.
Then there's him-the one Elijah warns her about but won't explain why. The one who sees her in ways no one else does.
Lies run deep. Truth is a game no one wants to play. And in a world where everyone is pretending, the truth eventually will come to light.
