Rosemont High School senior Vanessa Ellis, 18, loves finding out about other people's secrets, but never imagined how it would be if people found out about hers. Her secret begins her senior year when she ends up in a secret romantic relationship with John Catchton, 18 . . . and then in one with Brad Johnston, 18, who has a girlfriend.
And that's not all.
John and Brad happen to be very good friends with each other and go to the same school as her.
But someone out there knows about her secret and lets her know it by sending her a series of threatening secret text messages, and this is not the only thing she's receiving. She's also receiving unwanted roses, so this now has her very cautious about the two she's secretly involved with and about whether or not her secret will be revealed.
But it doesn't take her long to feel uncomfortable about being in a secret relationship with John and Brad at the same time, especially since Brad has a girlfriend and there's someone out there who knows about her secret, so she chooses to end it with one of them, and when she does, this starts a trail of even more secrets and lies. And due to this choice, she ends up in an open, committed relationship that she doesn't ever expect to be in, but what she doesn't expect most of all is when a dark secret leads to an incident that no one sees coming and will put Rosemont High School on the map and change the school forever.
Vanessa and her friends decide to conduct their own investigation into this incident and forensic science plays a huge part in their investigation, but the DNA results gives them news they never expect to hear. In addition to this, she also finds out that she's more connected to this case than she ever thinks she would be, as well as all of the twists and turns that lead to this incident . . . and this is just the beginning.
