A shocking, poignant, powerful read with a message all young teens need to hear." Cathy CassidyWillow and Alma are best friends, sharing a love of the spotlight. All they want is fame and fortune, and Willow is determined that the best way to get it is to go viral. So they start filming dares.

An idea that might destroy not just their ambitions but their entire friendship for good.
