Mikey and Ellie are drawn together despite circumstance: Mikey's sister has accused Ellie's brother of rape. While Mikey knows who Ellie is from the beginning, she's initially unaware of his identity. Downham provides an intriguing look at the crisis from the siblings' perspectives. Omniscient narration describes their separate thoughts and feelings, sharing a united experience as unlikely partners, equal victims, and parallel protagonists.
