Her freshly ex-boyfriend is furious. Her best friend avoids her. The only person who doesn't seem to care is Dane, the new boy at school, who sees her as a person and knows her choices are none of his business. But then a rumor sweeps through the school that Maura was the victim of an assault and everyone is suddenly on her side. Maura knows she doesn't owe anyone an explanation, but how will she get it all to stop?
