Maisie's three best friends happen to be boys. Her relationship with one of them begins to change direction, and heightened tensions culminate in an unsavory incident on the school bus. Maisie's struggle to untangle the truth leads her down a labyrinthine path. Prose presents an almost uncomfortably close examination of what happens when two sides of a seamy story collide.
