Suddenly, the whole city is trying to piece together the Hours of that terrible night.
But when the rest of school comes back from spring break, Claudia is missing.
Reeling, her memory hazy, Claudia cuts herself off from her family, seeking solace in a new friendship.
Claudia starts the school year resolved to find a path toward something positive, maybe even meaningful - and then one drunken night everything changes.
But look closer, and things are messier: her parents are separating, she\'s just been humiliated by a sleazy documentary, and her sister is about to have a baby with a man she barely knows.
From a distance, Claudia Castro has it all: a famous family, a trust fund, thousands of Instagram followers, and a spot in NYU\'s freshman class.
