After two teen girls cruelly impersonate her online in a “reverse cyber bullying” plot, Ashley’s reputation is ruined. She and her mother, Julie (a high school teacher), are ostracized forcing them to flee an escalating threat to their lives. Starting over at a new school miles away, romantic interests and the poignant lessons from Kevin, an eccentric history teacher, draw them out of seclusion. However, when the past catches up with Ashley, she draws on what she’s learned from Kevin’s history lessons, giving her strength to stand tall rather than giving in to the bullies that torment her. With her mother’s courage and support and that of her new found friends, Ashley confronts her painful past, using the very tools of social media and cyber technology that hurt her to expose the lies and share the truth. A poignant and timely message in today's internet world where there are no security walls for protection and where nowhere is safe.
