Lisa DeMott's senior year at Englewood High is not full of rainbows and dreams come true. It is a tangled dance on the dark and gritty side of life as she leaves childhood behind and bears the scars of a troubled young adulthood.

Lives will be lost and sanity threatened in this dark and gritty tale of drugs, sex, life, eating disorders, cutting, and unlikely love, as Lisa tries to find some light in a life that she's discovered is Pretty Ugly.
