When her brother dies of a drug overdose, high-school senior CeCe is held responsible by both the authorities and herself. Chapters alternate between the present day, with CeCe awaiting trial for murder in Piedmont Juvenile Correctional Facility's Behavioral Therapy unit, and the months leading up to Cyrus's death. CeCe's healing process is formulaic, but the mystery surrounding CeCe's culpability will keep readers engaged.
