When Ruth Ann (Roo) McCabe responds to a text message while she’s driving, her life as she knows it ends. The car flips, and she winds up in a hospital bed, paralyzed. Silent. Everyone thinks she’s in a coma, but she has locked-in syndrome-she can see and hear and understand everything around her, but no one knows it. She’s trapped inside her own body screaming to be heard. Mathilda (Tilly) is her sister and best friend. She was the one who texted Roo and inadvertently caused the accident. Now Tilly must grapple with her overwhelming guilt and growing feelings for Ruth’s boyfriends, Newton- the only other person who seems to get what Tilly is going through.
