Ruby, a 17-year-old smart and independent girl, studies at an elite school where everyone seems to have a perfect life. On the surface, she blends in-well-liked, confident, and seemingly carefree. But behind this facade lies a different reality.
Ruby attends the school on a scholarship and secretly works nights at a restaurant to support herself. One night, a small lie to protect her job leads to a man being thrown out after a fight. She thinks it's over-until a few days later, that same man walks into her classroom as the new student.
Now, Ruby must navigate the consequences of her lie while uncovering secrets that could change everything.
