Lexie's family had just moved from a small town in Georgia to a suburb in Columbus, Ohio. All Lexie wants is to have the same types of relationships she had in her small town. She is caught between her parents expectations and her own needs. Navigating the suburban teen social scene turns out not to be easy. She feels that she has to completely change in order to fit in. She becomes friends with the popular girls and dates a senior boy. She stands up for herself and it proves to be a mistake. She becomes the brunt of some nasty rumors. Her mom is concerned about the welfare of Lexie's two younger sisters. Her dad is just starting as a professor at the law school at The Ohio State University, and he is still recovering from a back injury. They depend on Lexie to be mature, help out when required, and not need a lot of support. Lexie tries to start again with a new group of friends. Her trusting nature causes her to accept a drink at a party and she overdoses. Lexie is expected to attend a treatment center. Here she meets Seth. When she returns home, she finds even more disapproval, distrust, and conflict with her mother and bullying from former friends at school. Lexie's stress increases as she tries to adapt to everyone's expectations. She reaches into her parents medicine cabinet and starts taking Xanax. This starts her downward spiral into other experimentation. Seth calls and Lexie is thrilled. When he doesn't call after they attend prom, she feels abandoned. She and her best friend argue over Lexie's drug use, she runs away, only to find herself in danger. Her friends and her father come together to find her. Hopefully, they will be in time.
