Ava Lee was once many things, but now she grapples with a single, defining identity: the Burned Girl. A year after a devastating house fire claims her family, best friend, and even her old face, 16-year-old Ava confronts the difficult task of returning to high school. Bearing scars that don't just skin-deep but cut through her sense of self, Ava battles not only the stares and whispers but also her own inner demons that dub her a 'survivor'—a title laced with irony and pain. However, her transformative journey begins when she meets Piper, a fellow survivor whose sharp wit and resilience offer a glimpse of what life could be beyond loss. Piper, along with Asad, a passionate theater enthusiast, pulls Ava from the brink of inward collapse, teaching her to embrace the second chance at living.
