The Alice Marshall School set within a glorious 2-million acre wilderness area is a place where teenage girls are sent to escape their histories and themselves. Lida Wallace has tried to negate herself in every way possible. At Alice Marshall she meets Elsa Boone Jules and Gia Longchamps whose glamour entrances the entire camp. As the girls prepare for a wilderness trek Lida is both thrilled and terrified to be chosen as Gia's friend. Everyone has their secrets  the Things they try to protect; and when those come out the knives do as well.
