On the cusp of homecoming, the violent wolf packs Raqia thought she left in Beirut begin popping up in the local news. Even though Eddie swears he's not part of these gangs, both he and Raqia face visceral anger and anxiety over them.And when emotions run high and one weekend erupts in a life-altering event, Raqia, Eddie, and Anabelle's tight-knit trio ends up in tatters. Is it possible for them to go back to the way things were, or will Raqia need to reinvent herself again?
