Kaitlyn and Rebecca are next door neighbors and the best of friends. After eight years of elementary school at separate institutions, the two young teens can't wait to attend high school together. What they don't know is that danger the likes of which they never could have imagined looms ahead. Just moments after they begin their exciting first day, Rebecca becomes the victim of choice for Chantel, a young, rough-edged bully at Leacrest High. What starts as a seemingly insignificant altercation outside the school cafeteria eventually escalates into an alarming physical assault against a locker. Trouble brews thicker when Kaitlyn finds out about the locker incident and is eager to talk to their parents and report Chantel to the school principal. Embarrassed, mortified and appalled that her best friend would even think to put her in such a position, Rebecca could not disagree more and makes Kaitlyn promise not to tell a single soul. For fear of letting Rebecca down and scared of losing their friendship, reluctantly, Kaitlyn agrees. The next few months are plagued by a whirlwind of confusion, secrecy and lies. As the two girls cozy up to separate social circles and become engulfed in their first-love relationships, they begin to drift apart. When Kaitlyn reaches out to make plans, Rebecca says she's with her boyfriend, but behind the scenes she tells her boyfriend she's with Kaitlyn. No one is the wiser until tragedy strikes. One sunny afternoon in March, Rebecca is cornered and fatally attacked by Chantel and four other students in the schoolyard. A horrific scene of which Kaitlyn is an unfortunate witness and bystander, this marks the beginning of the end for poor Rebecca. She is raced to the closest hospital where she never regains consciousness.

After emergency brain surgery, just a few days later, Rebecca dies of her injuries. Kaitlyn is swallowed whole by feelings of sadness, anger, accountability and guilt. She removes herself from society and becomes diagnosed with post-traumatic stress syndrome. Battling depression and unable to participate in any of her regular day-to-day activities, it is a dark and sad time. It isn't until her parents force her out of her bedroom on a day trip that Kaitlyn snaps out of her debilitating mental state. An unexpected event tak
