"I know I keep saying it, Nessa, but you're a good girl. Thank you." Life hasn't been smooth sailing for Nessa and her mom but somehow they make it work, doing whatever it takes to "keep things right." And Nessa is happy. School is great, she even knows where her future lies - in the subject she loves best of all. Art. She sees the beauty in everything around her: the sun in a clear blue sky, reflections on the river's surface, even creepy looking abandoned buildings like the one the kids call "the bad house," recreating it all in the images she draws. But when Nessa meets Drew, another artist just as passionate about his work, new friends and new ideas soon follow making her question the life she's been living. And so what if her new interests are a little darker? Everybody grows and changes, don't they? How far will Nessa let things go before she realizes that change is rarely painless? And that sometimes it leaves casualties along the way.
