One choice. One secret. No way back.

In Montgomery, Massachusetts, everyone's connected-friends, families, secrets.

Taylor Dunkin had it all: star athlete, hometown legend, future NFL prospect. But one devastating injury changes everything, pulling him into a hidden battle that threatens to destroy him ... and everyone around him.

As pills spread through high school parties and close-knit circles, lives unravel. His brother Marc fights to uncover the truth. Cousins and friends like charismatic Chris, brilliant Jason, charming Luke, and anxious Cathy get caught in the web-where one experiment can spiral into disaster.

How far will the damage go before someone breaks?
