Flavia, a sharp and self-reliant fourteen-year-old, lives alone after her parents leave for Italy. When she learns they are divorcing, her fragile balance begins to crumble. She finds comfort in her friendships and forms a surrogate family, but when her friends leave, Flavia confronts the limits of her longing and the emotional void left by absent parents.
