15-year-old Lucy works hard at school, gets on with her parents and has a best friend named Brigitte. Her life is unexciting but it works. It just doesn't work as well as Natasha's. Natasha is the coolest girl in school. And one day Natasha's focus turns to Lucy. She needs Lucy's help. Lucy needs Natasha's approval. It's a perfect match. Until it isn't. As Lucy starts to adapt her life to suit Natasha she learns the secrets of Natasha's constant success. Soon Lucy learns to use people just like Natasha. And soon Lucy forgets who she is - the person she was growing up to be. Until the night of the party. What is supposed to be the pinnacle of Lucy's success becomes the price of her new life. A price that turns out to be far too high for anyone to bear.
