Nancy and Katie are best friends with one big thing in common: they both cut themselves. They don't cut by accident; they do it purposely. And they don't talk about why they do it. Soon Nancy realizes that she and Katie need cutting to get through the day
Nancy can cover the scars on her arms and legs. It's the others, the ones inside, that are becoming hard to hide.
