Her middle sister's eating disorder consumes the family's attention. Annabel carries the weight of a secret about the night her friendship with Sophie ended. Then she meets Owen Armstrong, a music obsessed student who believes in telling the truth no matter the cost. Owen introduces Annabel to new sounds and honest conversations. Through their growing connection, Annabel begins to find the strength she needs. She must decide whether to reveal what really happened that night with Sophie. The truth could free her from isolation, but speaking up requires courage she's not sure she possesses.
