What does a teenage girl struggling to cope with a unmanageable home life, an old, abandoned childhood friend and a brilliant but autistic boy have in common? A lot more than one might think. Lillian Harris, a high school senior, tries her best to cover up an abusive and neglectful home life with lies, manipulation and keeping a distance from most everyone. But all her skills fail her when she embarks on her senior white water rafting trip and gets separated from the group along with eight others, including Robbie Newton a boy with autism and Darren Hawthorne, an old childhood friend. During their journey to find their way back Lillian develops an unusual friendship with Robbie and finds she unable to hide from Darren’s patient and caring demeanor.
