Lia, a 17 year old, is tired of researching dead white men in her high school social studies class.

When she finds the Greek myth of Cassandra, she decides to do her final project on her. But when Lia’s best friend Josie is assaulted at a party, Lia’s past comes to the surface as she’s pulled between supporting her best friend, her own younger self, and not failing high school.

What if being a young woman in the 21st century is the story of Cassandra, simply separated by centuries?
