Ro thinks her family is totally unlike anyone else's. Jodie is afraid of herself. So they spend a long time stepping carefully around the truth, hiding secrets that they know are too terrible to reveal. These shadows from the past just won't go away, and in a hostile society Ro and Jodie end up with only each other and that grab bag of feelings that make up a friendship: love, hate, guilt and forgiveness.
