Pútavá psychodráma zo života paranoidnej žene konfrontovanej s neuveriteľným činom, ktorého sa dopustila ako zúfalá tínedžerka. Píše sa rok 1989. V poslednom ročníku strednej školy prestúpi do Louisinej triedy nová žiačka Maria. Je celkom iná ako ostatné dievčatá, s ktorými sa Louise kamaráti - autentická, zábavná, zdravo bezočivá. Už zakrátko sa z tejto dvojice stanú nerozlučné priateľky. Rok 2016. Louise dostane e-mail. Keď si ho prečíta stuhne jej krv v žilách: Maria Westonová ju žiada na Facebooku o priateľstvo. Na povrch rýchlo vyplávajú dávno pochované spomienky: na začiatky ich kamarátskeho vzťahu, na kruté rozhodnutie a temné tajomstvá, na noc, ktorá navždy zmenila životy všetkých zúčastnených. Louise vždy vedela, že ak raz vyjde pravda najavo, môže prísť o všetko. O zamestnanie, svojho syna aj o slobodu.
