Tessa's anxiety has reached an all-time high since the passing of her mother a few months ago. In an attempt to find solace, she has taken to cutting out photos of missing children from milk cartons and keeping them in a file. While it provides a temporary sense of comfort, her friends are gradually drifting away, leaving her feeling isolated and alone.

To add to her woes, Tessa's father has recently announced his engagement to a woman who is pregnant. As a result, they will be relocating to a beach house, where Tessa must start over with a new group of friends. At first, she finds it difficult to connect with the misfit boys in her new school, but gradually, she begins to open up and form meaningful relationships.

However, Tessa soon realizes that she cannot hold onto her old habits and friendships if she wants to regain control of her life. She must learn to let go and embrace the changes that are happening around her. It is a difficult journey, but with the support of her new family and friends, Tessa begins to heal and grow.

In the end, Tessa emerges stronger and more resilient than ever before. She has learned the importance of letting go, embracing new opportunities, and forming meaningful connections with others. Her journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the ability to overcome even the most challenging circumstances.
