Clare has just started her first year in high school and just made her first friend - an outgoing ninth grade student name Sherry. At first, things seem great and normal between them. They share some of the same interests. But when Sherry starts telling Clare outrageous tales of famous celebrities visiting her between classes, Clare realizes she is off her rocker.

At first, she plays along with her for the sake of making the school year more interesting. Then, Sherry begins to tell Clare bizarre stories of some of the popular kids in school. And Clare doesn’t know whether to doubt her stories or believe the things she’s saying, especially when they involve her, as well!

Obsessed with popularity and the desire to be liked by others, Clare is drawn to the tales and can’t help but listen to Sherry’s outrages stories, no matter how peculiar they seem to become.

Until one day, Sherry starts telling Clare about an alcoholic assistant principal who beats up his daughter and is out to get her. Clare is drawn further into Sherry’s dark and twisted world.

Plagued by strange calls and the occasional principal’s eyes watching her at every corner of the school, Clare can’t help but feel alive with importance for the first time in her life. And the people she once saw as characters in a tale spawn by a silly ninth grader start stalking her. Quickly, she finds herself falling down into a world she no longer has any control over.

Soon, the once shy ninth grader and loner, finds herself unable to escape, nor can she tell what is real any longer. And now with Clara, the story was clear, the tale takes a twisted turn, one she didn’t anticipate and one that has the power to change her young life.
