High school graduation signifies the next journey of a young person's life, but for four friends, it means hiding secrets and pain. Samantha Pollard's desperate drive of impeccable academia has landed her a scholarship to college, another check on her list towards never becoming anything like her mother; broke, emotionally unattached, and an unapologetic addict. Jacqueline Belleview's unwavering faith is gripped with both hands when she finds out she is pregnant after one night of premarital sex. How will she find the courage to tell her family, not to mention her combative boyfriend? Can this baby help put her and Joey back in sync and not ruin her families' trust? For all of her years training and sacrifice to be the perfect ballet dancer, Charlotte Armstrong fights to forget that her control on the stage can't control her darkest secret, one that would tear her family apart. And Francine Parks, weary of the burden of perfection her mother insists on, inadequacies filter into a welcoming numbness, dragging her under until she feels she has lost the last part of herself.But at the end of a seemingly wonderful summer, each of them finds themselves pushed emotionally to their limit, traumatizing events ripping their lives apart. A tragedy leaves the girls dazed that they didn't notice the pain, the desperation. The hard fact that each of them was contemplating the very same devastating action. Can the friendship of the three be repaired, or will each spiral further, only to be the next one lost?
