Sara and her father are moving to Boston from small-town Lundun, Massachusetts. She is going to attend the prestigious Anton High school—crowned "North America's Most Elite and Most Bizarre" by TIME Magazine—harder to get into than Harvard. As the new girl, Sara doesn't know anyone; better yet, no one knows her.

But then one of the popular girls at school starts looking into Sara's past, and her father's obsessive compulsive disorder takes a turn for the worse. Soon, the whole charade just might come crashing down...
