Kirsten's life is falling apart. Her parents aren't speaking, her best friend has ditched her, and her only ally is her geeky sister. Walker is trying to fit in at the predominantly white middle school his mom forced him to attend, so he wouldn't "screw up" like his cousin. But when Kirsten's and Walker's lives collide after an incident with the school's queen bee, Brianna, and being paired for a school project, they discover something that can change the way Brianna is seen-- and help repair Kirsten's reputation.
