Eva is sixteen and experiencing all of the excitement of being in love for the first time. And this weekend promises to be special, as she and her boyfriend, Julian, will be spending time at his parents' country house. Nothing could be more perfect. Except the journey to the country is anything but, and Eva's dream weekend is turning into a total nightmare. When Eva's train is delayed, she is unable to pick up Julian. She soon finds herself alone on a forest road late at night--and the witness to a group of teenagers beating a young boy. As she somehow sneaks by unnoticed, she also loses her diary, an incredibly personal book that holds all of her secrets--including details of her visits to a psychotherapist.
