A 17 year old girl discovers the grim truth about the fashion industry when she unexpectedly becomes a model

Jana Novak's history sounds like a classic model cliche: tall and gangly, she's uncomfortable with her androgynous looks until she's unexpectedly scouted and catapulted to superstardom.

But the fashion industry is as grimy as it is glamorous. And there are unexpected predators at every turn.

NOTE: Contains very strong language, drug use, frank and graphic discussions of sex and sexual assault.
