Nora has lied about many things. But has she told her most dangerous lie of all? There's a new art assistant at Nora's school, and he's crossed a line. Nora decides to teach him a lesson he won't forget. But not everything goes quite to plan, and Nora needs an escape. She befriends the rich and talented Bel, who longs for a part in a remake of a famous film.

As events start to spin wildly out of control, Nora must decide where her loyalties lie - and what deceits she can get away with.
