Tired of being labeled the troubled foster kid, Sydney just wants to get through these last five months without everyone learning about her mom’s cocaine overdose. Luckily, her new foster sister, Brooke, makes life easier by ignoring her at school, which Sydney is okay with. She isn’t interested in Brooke’s spoiled and stuck up friends.

Despite Sydney’s reluctance to get to know others, some in Brooke’s crowd welcome her in, including Brooke’s boyfriend. And when Sydney discovers he’s got a big secret of his own, she starts to realize the privileged kids might not have it so easy after all.

But even as her frozen exterior thaws, it might not be enough to allow love into her heart.

One stupid and rash decision results in two deaths, her own and her boss’s, the nerdy Cyrus. Lyrica wakes up to discover she’s dead, stuck in her old world but unable to interact with those around her. And worst of all, everybody thinks Cyrus murdered her.

It’s Lyrica’s fault her family is falling apart and that everyone blames Cyrus for her death. She not only has to figure out a way to let the world know the truth about Cyrus but also how to keep her family from ruining their lives. The guilt is enough to kill her… if she wasn’t already dead.
