With graduation looming, Susan’s next steps are all laid out: go to an Ivy League school, follow in her parents' footsteps, and continue living the life that’s expected of her, even if it isn’t what she wants.
But her carefully planned future takes an unexpected turn when she meets three friends from the wrong side of town: a boy who grew up too quickly, a broken girl in need of saving, and a lonely boy who hides behind a sweet smile that Susan can’t get out of her head.
A shocking event sets them on a path Susan never could have imagined, and she finds herself at a crossroads, having to answer a question that will change everything.
