During Frankie's first sexual experience, she gets her period. It's only blood, they agree. No shame. Then a graphic meme goes viral, turning a fun, intimate afternoon into something mortifying and damaging.

And Frankie begins to wonder: is she disgusting? As the online shaming takes on a horrifying life of its own, Frankie's universe implodes. But can laughter, bravery and the fiercest of friendships help Frankie find her way out of the darkness?
