Meet Kristina, a gifted, straight A student who follows the rules until she goes to visit her father for a few brief weeks in the summer. He's been out of her life since she was a little girl. During the visit, he and Adam introduce her to crystal meth and her life quickly spirals out of control. Kristina's alter ego Bree appears whenever Kristina gets high. Bree is full of confidence and takes risks to feed her addiction. Based on events of the author's experience with her own daughter,
