The world of the introverted but fiery Esra (9) has been turned upside down. Her father has become disabled after a recent motorcycle accident and as a result, they had to move to a new place. Struggling with his limitations, Esra’s father isn’t the man she once knew. At her new school, she tells a lie that results in a lot of positive attention, but of which she is unable to oversee the consequences. The pain, anger, and shame that boil inside of her will inevitably find their way to the surface.
