High school junior Tara’s future is bright, and she feels like she is on the right path—though no one seems to want to join the school newspaper that she and her best friend Steph are trying to rebuild. When Kurt shows up one day for a meeting, Tara is unsure whether the guy that everyone whispers about is in it for the paper’s free pizza, or the journalism…or for her? As Tara begins to learn that maybe the rumors about Kurt aren’t really true, a dangerous mix of teenage jealousy and the realities of gun violence in America threatens to derail not only their futures, but an entire community’s perception of trust, responsibility, and safety.
