Poison In The System

By Jack A. Ori

Brianna shouldn't have been sent to this group home. The drugs weren't even hers.

But she was, and for the past three months, the only way she's survived is by keeping her head down an following the rules while trying to keep the bullies that roam the halls away from the younger, more vulnerable residents.

Then someone snaps and poisons Tasha, the biggest bully there is.

It could have been anybody, but the admistration zeroes in on two innocent girls.

They don't want the truth. They want the case closed so the state won't shut them down.

If Brianna steps too far out of line, she'll be expelled and forced to spend the next three years behind bars. There goes her future.

But if she plays it safe to survive, two girls she loves will be blamed for something they didn't do.

There's only one thing to do. Find the real poisoner without getting labeled a troublemaker.

But the problem is, the girl she's looking for knows this game better than she does. This girl will weaponize the system to keep Brianna locked up and away from the truth... and if that doesn't work, she'll kill someone to save her own ass.

Everyone in the system has secrets. Everyone in the system has something to hide.

How can Brianna untangle the truth without destroying her future... or getting herself killed?
