In a small town where certain girls are treated like background noise, a foster home sits on the edge of everything. The girls who pass through it are quietly labelled “BIC girls”—disposable, temporary, easy to overlook. When they go missing for days, no one panics. When they come back, no one asks the right questions. Sienna Calder is one of them. She’s learned to survive by staying in control, by reacting faster than anyone else, by turning the label into something that feels like power instead of erasure. She moves between school, parties, and the streets with a reputation that keeps people at a distance. Fights aren’t rare for her, and she always ends them quickly. Then one night, during a party, she goes too far. What should’ve been another forgettable fight turns irreversible. The other girl doesn’t get back up. No one fully sees what happened, and Sienna does what she’s always done best—she leaves before anything can catch up to her. And tells herself it didn’t matter. ⸻ But things shift. She returns to her routine like nothing’s changed, but the weight of it sits under everything. Her disappearances mean something different now. The people around her start to notice subtle changes, even if they can’t explain them. Ashtray, who’s known her quietly for years through small, wordless interactions, is the first to feel that something is wrong. He doesn’t see her as disposable, doesn’t accept the version of herself she hides behind, and starts paying closer attention in a way that makes things more dangerous for both of them. At school, her reputation grows while tensions with others—especially Cassie Howard—highlight the difference between being protected and being forgotten. Meanwhile, Lexi Howard begins writing about the girls the town ignores, slowly documenting patterns no one else wants to see, with Sienna at the center of it. As the story unfolds, the truth circles closer. A body
