O'Connor struggles to find her voice while many of her one-time
friends doubt she's telling the truth and her ex-boyfriend won't
let go of their past. Bryn has learned to keep her mouth shut. But
when a trip to the hospital following a car accident reveals
bruises and injuries inflicted by her boyfriend days and months
before, her biggest secret is unwillingly unleashed. And though a
restraining order is meant to keep her safe from Preston, it seems
nothing can protect her from her supposed friends, who refuse to
believe Preston is capable of such violence and look to punish her
for what happened to him. Making Bryn wonder if finally telling the
truth only made things worse. The stress and loneliness leaves Bryn
feeling crazy-especially when it seems like the leather book she
picked up at the hospital is reading her thoughts. It doesn't help
that her visiting grandma, Mim, is convinced surfing lessons and
homemade Mexican food will somehow help Bryn regain control and
focus away from the bullying messages pinging her phone. Though
when Preston breaks the restraining order yet again, and a trial
date looms, it's clear the only way out of the tsunami that is her
life is to charge in and take control of the waves around her.
