How can she live with what she did? Shiv's best mate, her younger brother, Declan, died while their family was on holiday in Greece. Shiv doesn't know how to live any more ? she can only feel self-hatred; she is tormented by guilt. Now she finds herself at the Korsakoff Clinic, with five other teens and young adults who are undergoing a most unorthodox therapy, which is often painful. But this is Shiv's last chance ? the clinic must help her find a way to live again. But first, their methods will make her face what really happened to her brother.
